About Nerea

Nerea Jayo Schielke is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, anger, and issues with self-esteem. She brings 20 years of professional experience and emphasizes practical support for everyday struggles. She talks plainly and focuses on steps people can take now to feel better.

She believes clients know their story best and treats their strengths as tools for change. Sessions focus on clear goals and small shifts rather than jargon.

Background and approach

The aim is to build confidence and steady progress toward a more satisfying life. Her approach is collaborative. She listens, asks practical questions, and offers strategies that match each person's needs.

That can mean working on coping skills, sleep routines, or ways to handle difficult emotions like anger and grief. Nerea also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting questions, and challenges tied to identity including LGBT matters. She pays attention to how culture, discrimination, and experiences like abandonment or HIV/AIDS shape a person’s life.

Fluent in English and Spanish, she works with people across New Jersey and accepts international clients as well. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online approaches that fit family and parenting life

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear, practical tools. One approach emphasizes building coping skills for stress and anxiety through step-by-step exercises. These tools help with restless sleep, panic or constant worry, and teach simple ways to calm the body and mind. A second approach centers on problem-solving and behavior change. It looks at daily routines and habits, then tries small, testable adjustments to improve mood, sleep, or motivation. This is useful for managing anger, boosting self-esteem, and handling life transitions. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From that conversation she recommends methods and adapts them as needed so the plan fits the client’s life. Online sessions make this process more flexible. Video calls let you have real-time conversations, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging provide brief check-ins or support between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy family schedules and across different locations.
