About Joselin

LCSW in New Jersey and New York with 10 years of experience, Joselin Herrera helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, relationship and family tensions, and LGBT‑related concerns. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused techniques to address concrete problems and goals. Joselin’s background includes work as a psychotherapist in an outpatient mental health clinic in New York. She has clinical experience across diverse cultural, socioeconomic, disability, and sexual orientation backgrounds.

Joselin keeps sessions practical and goal-oriented. She begins by identifying what the person most wants to change. Then she and the client map small, doable steps toward that goal. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Solution-focused ideas help people apply tools between sessions.

She also has experience helping people who are processing traumatic experiences and abuse. Her approach emphasizes building a working relationship so people can speak honestly about hard material.

Joselin trained at Stony Brook University for her bachelor’s in psychology and completed a Master of Social Work at Hunter College. She holds LCSW credentials in New Jersey and New York.

How CBT and Trauma‑Focused Work Translate to Remote Sessions

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes. In an online session this means setting small experiments, tracking results between meetings, and reviewing outcomes together. It is often used for anxiety, stress, low mood, and relationship patterns.

Trauma‑Focused Therapy concentrates on processing traumatic memories and building coping skills. Remote sessions can include grounding techniques, paced exposure or recounting when appropriate, and skill practice to reduce symptoms related to trauma and abuse.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, and then adjust methods as the work progresses. Decisions about which tools to prioritize are made together rather than assumed in advance.

This description does not list specific session formats. Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how sessions will be conducted. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and trauma‑focused techniques to remote appointments while tracking progress over time.
