More about Joselin

  • 9 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Hello!) My name is Joselin Herrera. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New Jersey and New York. I earned my Bachelor in Psychology at Stony Brook University and my Master of Social Work at Hunter College. I was a psychotherapist at an outpatient mental health clinic in NY working on issues such as depression, anxiety, parenting and family struggles, trauma and abuse, as well as life changes. I worked with diverse population in regards to ethnicity/cultures, sexual orientation, disabilities, and socio-economic status.

I believe in a strengths-based approach utilizing cognitive behavioral and solution focused techniques. You can identify your strength during this reading as you have already made a brave decision to seek help. It's imperative that a trusting therapeutic relationship is built so you feel confident to express yourself in a safe and supportive environment. I believe our work is based on a team approach where we work together to achieve your desired goals. Once we identify your desired goals I can provide tools to help you achieve those goals.

I look forward to working with you.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Joselin is an amazing therapist. Amazing listener, answers in a timely manner, compassionate, and helps you see situations at different angle to guide you through a situation. She helped me immensely last year, I stopped therapy after I was able to use the skills she helped me learn to get through them. Im in another pickle so I returned. I recommend her. Nothing but a great experience with her!

A true resource and advisor

Reviewed November 2022

I filtered through a few therapists before hitting the jackpot with J Herrera. She is thorough, organized, timely, respectful, and thoughtful. She always found ways to reflect my accounts of the past week back into my goals. I felt very encouraged and empowered to set boundaries, which I found to be my main goal during our time together. She also encouraged me to look at situations factually, and pointed out when I had done that on my own which is really encouraging. I love that she recalls things I'd already told her and can connect past events to present. I never had to repeat myself. I love that she calls right on time and gives a solid amount of time to discuss things and is organic about ending the session without cutting a conversation short. It felt like a really great balance of listening vs asking/presenting ideas. I am very satisfied with her help and highly recommend her!

Joselin is an excellent counselor. She listens and then is able to reflect back what was said in a way that gave me a different way of looking at situations. I have had several "ah ha" moments with her. She is excellent at working to find practical solutions to issues. She is great at answering the "why" questions about psychological ideas and theories. I wasn't sure what to expect when I started with BetterHelp, but for a few more dollars than what I would have as a copay, I have much more consistent treatment with a great therapist.

Joselin is great. She has always been not only great in helping me work through the anxiety and self-doubt that first brought me to Betterhelp, but she's been super patient. My job is stressful and requires long hours which often make me have to cancel our appointments--or sometimes I just completely forget because I'm so exhausted. I appreciate that she's always been patient with me.

Joselin has been a terrific counselor for me and I would recommend Joselin highly to anyone looking for an incredibly attentive listener with a no-nonsense approach to addressing your challenges. Through my work with Joselin, I have been able to manage my anxiety much more skillfully. I was suffering from profound anxiety BEFORE the pandemic, but with Joselin's help I have been healthy through all the challenges of 2020. Joselin will often reflect back to me comments or situations discussed months prior, showing that she takes careful notes and is always reflecting back things I've done or said to help illuminate current circumstances. Thanks, Joselin! You have made a real difference in my life and the life of my family.

Joselin is incredible. Absolutely fantastic. I had never been in therapy before starting here and I could not have picked a better counselor. She's attentive, responsive, and seamlessly goes from listening to you to synthesizing what you said and providing both context and solutions. What I like most is that she helps define how I'm feeling. I explain how I'm feeling or the negative thoughts and have it's like she's in my head with how accurate her assessment is. She's great. My mental health is improving. My relationship is improving. Wonderful!

Reviewed May 2020

She is absolutely wonderful. This is my first time in therapy and I didn’t believe it would be this easy or make me feel this much better but she has made it very easy to open up to her. She lays out what I need to do to keep getting better. I read a self help book and talked about it and she went out of her way to get her hands on the book and read it. I can’t say enough about her and it’s only been 2 sessions.

Reviewed March 2020

I really appreciate Joselin's structure to our sessions. She manages to hone in on the issue at hand and shapes it into something we can look at and discuss. There have been productive and thoughtful sessions that challenge me to grow. She helps me recognize that growth is sometimes a little painful but worth it to change our own perspective.
