Background and approach

In sessions he draws from client-centered therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used when it helps to identify thinking patterns and try new behaviors. These tools are applied in a practical way, so conversations lead to small real changes between meetings.

Jesse has nine years of experience and holds the LCSW credential, licensed in New York. He aims to work collaboratively, helping people set clear goals and track progress over time. He also supports people navigating parenting stress, life transitions, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.

His style is calm and focused on what matters to the client. If someone wants a therapist who listens closely and suggests actionable steps, Jesse offers that steady presence. He conducts sessions in English and provides several online formats to fit different needs.

How Jesse Uses Talk Therapy Online

Jesse combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change how they feel and act. Client-centered therapy means the conversation follows the client's concerns and pace, so the therapist listens closely and reflects what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jesse treats the choice of method as collaborative and adjusts the plan based on the client's goals and preferences. Together they set small goals and check what is or isn't working between sessions.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging for practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging support quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or ongoing notes between appointments. These options help make therapy fit around work, caregiving, and busy days.
