Getting to know Joel Sjerven

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in St. Louis, offering virtual therapy across Missouri. My approach is grounded in a liberation-health framework — I believe that many of the struggles people carry aren't just personal failings, but responses to real pressures in our environments, systems, and communities. Therapy with me is less about "fixing" you and more about understanding your story, reconnecting with your own strength, and finding where you have power, even when things feel out of your hands. I work with clients on things like anxiety, burnout, life transitions, and the exhaustion that comes from always having to be productive, reachable, and "on." Sessions are collaborative and unhurried — there's no script you have to fit into.
