Getting to know Jay Piercefield

Hi, I’m Jay Piercefield, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with Empower Psychotherapy. I have more than 15 years of experience in behavioral health. I work with adolescents and adults to help them navigate life’s challenges with practical support and compassion. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in inpatient settings, residential treatment centers, and private practice, supporting individuals through anxiety, stress, life transitions, and emotional challenges. I’m passionate about helping clients feel more confident, capable, and understood.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I believe therapy works best when it feels real, collaborative, and comfortable—not overly clinical or rigid. I strive to create a space where you can show up as yourself without fear of judgment. My style is conversational and straightforward, and I focus on helping you recognize your strengths while building practical tools you can actually use in everyday life. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, life changes, anger, or identity-related challenges, we’ll work together at a pace that feels right for you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We’ll begin by talking about what brought you to therapy, what’s been weighing on you, and what you hope to gain from the process. From there, we’ll identify patterns, challenges, and goals together. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, trauma-informed therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to help you develop healthier coping strategies and greater self-awareness. My focus is always on helping you make meaningful, lasting progress in a way that feels manageable and supportive.
