About
Joselin Herrera, LCSW, brings a clinical foundation shaped by undergraduate study in psychology at Stony Brook University and a Master of Social Work from Hunter College. She has worked as a psychotherapist in an outpatient mental health clinic in New York, addressing depression, anxiety, parenting and family struggles, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. Her practice has included work with people from a range of ethnic and cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, abilities, and socioeconomic circumstances.
Herrera emphasizes a strengths-based stance while using cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques. She describes therapy as a collaborative process in which practitioner and client identify priorities and develop concrete steps toward those aims. Once goals are clear, she offers tools and strategies drawn from her training to support progress.
Her approach attends to stress, self-esteem, relationship concerns, and identity matters alongside trauma-related work. Herrera frames the therapeutic relationship as a team effort and aims to create an environment where individuals can express concerns and practice new skills they choose to pursue.

Remote sessions with cognitive and trauma-focused techniques
Herrera offers remote therapy that draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy alongside strengths-based and solution-focused elements. In accessible terms, cognitive behavioral therapy is used to identify and gently test patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress or mood concerns. Trauma-focused therapy targets the ways traumatic experiences continue to affect day-to-day functioning and works to reduce overwhelming reactions while building coping skills.Her online work is described as collaborative: she partners with each person to define concrete goals and then introduces tools and exercises suited to those aims. Sessions can include skill practice, thought restructuring, and brief interventions adapted for remote formats.
Remote options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats are used to maintain continuity of care, support skill application between meetings, and allow communication in ways that fit an individual schedule and comfort.
