About Nerea
Nerea Jayo Schielke is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of practice in New Jersey. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, trauma, and life transitions.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and international clients are welcome. Nerea frames therapy as a collaborative process. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
In sessions she focuses on practical steps that people can try between meetings. The tone is direct, respectful, and encouraging rather than clinical or abstract. Her work covers many everyday struggles that get in the way of daily life.
That includes coping with burnout, parenting pressures, intimacy issues, and identity concerns tied to LGBT experiences. She also addresses challenges such as ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, eating issues, and recovery from abuse or abandonment. Nerea brings two decades of practical experience to conversations about goals and next steps.
She helps people set concrete aims, break them into small tasks, and track progress. Coaching-style guidance is offered alongside therapeutic reflection when useful. People choose her when they want clear, actionable support for anger and stress, better sleep, or renewed self-worth.
Her approach is gentle but focused, aiming to help clients make steady changes in everyday life.

Approaches that meet you where you are
Nerea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical change. One common approach focuses on skills for managing strong emotions and anger, teaching grounding exercises, breathing strategies, and step-by-step plans to respond differently in heated moments. This helps people lower reactivity and regain control in everyday situations.Another approach centers on behavioral and goal-oriented work to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. It involves setting small daily habits, experimenting with routines, and tracking what helps sleep and lowers worry. These concrete tweaks are designed to fit into a busy life and build momentum toward better rest and calmer days.
Finding the right methods is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques in session, and adjust based on what matches a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative stance helps shape a plan that feels useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or travel. Video calls let therapists observe nonverbal cues and hold more in-depth conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a quick check-in during a break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, homework, or ongoing encouragement between sessions.
