Novena Riojas is a licensed clinical social worker in New York (NY LCSW 086683) with nine years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, motivation difficulties, low self-esteem, confidence challenges, and depression.
She works from the perspective that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be mobilized to address what feels difficult or blocking progress.
Novena integrates coaching to help with motivation and personal growth while maintaining a professional yet approachable stance.
She acknowledges that beginning therapy often takes courage and honors those who take that first step.
Many people ask whether therapy provided online can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or managing life changes, online therapy is generally as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
A key benefit is flexibility - individuals can connect in the way that suits them best, whether that is a video call, a phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to fit care into a busy schedule.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and if someone decides they would like a different fit, they can change therapists at any time.
