About Jenna
LCSW in New York with 10 years of experience, Jenna Shersky helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and self‑esteem concerns.
Jenna focuses on concrete skills and practical steps. She listens to what matters to each person and then works with them to set clear goals. Sessions aim to make day‑to‑day coping easier and to address patterns that make life harder over time.
Her work often addresses issues tied to chronic pain, illness, and disability. She also supports people dealing with emptiness, isolation, family problems, and aftermaths of head injury. She regularly talks about forgiveness and self‑love in ways that connect to daily life and relationships.
Jenna uses several well‑known methods to guide sessions. Client‑Centered Therapy shapes how she listens and reflects. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions. She also uses Motivational Interviewing when people are weighing changes in career, health, or habits.
Her approach is collaborative and goal‑oriented. People leave sessions with specific strategies to practice between meetings. For parents or caregivers reading on a phone, expect clear language, short‑term tools, and a focus on making daily life more manageable.

How her therapeutic approaches fit online work
Client‑Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting. Online sessions using this approach focus on understanding what matters most to the client and on supporting their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests new behaviors; online CBT sessions often include concrete exercises and between‑session practice. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance and can be used to build a practical skills plan for daily life.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jenna will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Confirm current session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check‑ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make skill practice between sessions more immediate, helping people apply CBT or DBT tools in real situations.
