About Joselin

Joselin Herrera is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and issues tied to trauma and abuse. She also supports people navigating family and parenting concerns and those facing struggles with self-esteem or LGBT-related stress. Joselin works in New Jersey and communicates in English.

She holds an LCSW and has a decade of clinical experience. Joselin uses straightforward, practical techniques to help people make changes.

Background and approach

She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Trauma-Focused Therapy informs her approach when past harm affects daily life. Sessions focus on clear goals and specific tools that people can use between meetings.

Her training began with a Bachelor in Psychology from Stony Brook University and continued with a Master of Social Work at Hunter College. She practiced as a psychotherapist at an outpatient clinic in New York. There she supported people facing depression, anxiety, parenting and family struggles, trauma and life transitions.

Joselin describes her work as strengths-based. She helps clients notice what already works for them and build from there. She emphasizes a team approach, so people feel involved in setting goals and choosing techniques.

In sessions she offers tools that are practical and easy to try. Meetings can include skill practice, problem-solving, and planning for change. Joselin aims to create a trusting relationship so people can speak openly and move toward their goals.

Remote care using CBT and trauma-focused practices

Joselin commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT breaks concerns into thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can practice new responses in day-to-day life.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past hurt affects current safety or functioning. This approach looks at how traumatic experiences shape reactions and teaches skills to reduce distress and improve coping.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Joselin will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. Together they adjust methods based on what feels most useful and achievable.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, phone sessions work when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or written coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity during life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
