About Nerea
Nerea Jayo Schielke is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 20 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Nerea also supports clients facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and identity concerns such as LGBT issues.
She approaches work by treating clients as the experts on their own lives. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and practical steps people can use right away. Nerea emphasizes small, doable changes that reduce frustration and improve daily functioning.
In practice she addresses problems that build over time, like growing resentment, recurring conflict, or motivation struggles. Conversations center on what is happening now and what can be adjusted to feel different sooner. She helps people notice patterns, try alternative responses, and track what works.
Nerea brings methods drawn from evidence-based therapeutic techniques, applied in straightforward ways. She helps clients manage symptoms, plan for life changes, and rebuild a sense of confidence after setbacks. Work can include coping skills for stress, strategies for better sleep, and tools to reduce impulsive reactions.
She offers services in English and Spanish and is available to international clients. Practical matters such as session scheduling, matching, and how to begin are handled through an initial sign-up and matching questionnaire. The first session is scheduled after that step.
Approaches for anger, mood, and daily stress
Evidence-based techniques are used in plain terms. One approach focuses on identifying triggers and testing small changes in response patterns to reduce heated reactions. This helps with moments of sudden anger and with patterns of simmering resentment over time.Another approach teaches concrete coping skills for stress and sleep routines. These tools include breathing and grounding exercises, sleep hygiene strategies, and short behavioral steps to lower arousal and improve rest. They are useful for anxiety, insomnia, and feeling overwhelmed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and everyday life. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress and challenges appear.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily routines, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows continuing momentum between in-person visits when that is helpful.
