About Jesse
Jesse Palermo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 14 years of professional experience. He focuses on concerns commonly felt at home, including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, bipolar disorder, depression, parenting strain, trauma and grief. He also notes attention to intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, and challenges tied to identity such as LGBT concerns.
Jesse keeps conversations direct and practical. He listens for what is causing immediate strain and then talks through manageable steps. Sessions often focus on improving day-to-day coping, setting clearer boundaries, and reducing the small, recurring tensions that pile up in household life.
He uses established therapeutic approaches like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior strategies to address patterns of thinking and behavior. Jesse may draw on existential ideas when clients want to look at meaning and values. He also references the Gottman Method for relationship-related communication work.
Jesse has worked across a range of life stressors over his career, including caregiver stress, blended family issues, codependency, and attachment concerns. That background shapes how he looks for recurring dynamics rather than treating a single problem in isolation. He aims to help people develop skills that can be tried between sessions.
People who contact him should expect straightforward conversation about current difficulties and practical options to try. To start, readers are encouraged to use the site's matching flow and schedule an initial session to see how his approach fits their situation.
How sessions work
How Jesse’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the person’s concerns guide the work. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to set priorities for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress by giving concrete skills to practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense mood swings and recurring conflict.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client’s goals and preferences. That may mean trying a cognitive skill one week and a client-centered conversation the next, then checking in about what felt useful.
Confirm the specific session formats Jesse offers before booking, since the biography does not list them. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer video for face-to-face conversation, while others choose audio or shorter meetings to manage energy and attention. The focus is on how therapy can fit into everyday life and help with practical coping and relationship concerns.
