About Jesse

Jesse Palermo is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and addiction concerns. He speaks plainly and meets people where they are to make the first step feel doable. He works with clients on relationship strain, grief, bipolar disorder, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.

Jesse draws from common-sense methods that focus on what people want to change. He uses Client-Centered approaches to listen and reflect, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.

Background and approach

Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered when people need practical tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Sessions are shaped to each person’s needs and goals. Jesse explains options, tests what helps, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

He emphasizes clear communication and small, achievable steps rather than large promises. With 14 years of experience as an LCSW in New York, Jesse has worked across many challenges including trauma, parenting stress, sleep and eating concerns, and career transitions. He also supports clients dealing with ADHD, burnout, and compassion fatigue.

Jesse offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. He works in English and does not take international clients. To get started, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Jesse’s Approaches Work Online

Jesse often uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where the conversation follows the client’s priorities and concerns. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals that matter to them. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily life.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Jesse reviews your history, goals, and preferences and recommends methods that fit your situation. He will check in regularly and adapt techniques if something isn’t helping, so the plan evolves with your needs.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let you work face to face when a longer conversation is helpful. Phone sessions can be a better fit when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, and shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options provide flexibility so the work can continue around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
