About Jesse
Jesse Palermo is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, mood shifts, and parenting challenges. He works with adults seeking steadier mood, clearer thinking, and more workable day-to-day routines. His style is direct and compassionate, aimed at practical change you can use right away.
Jesse draws on 14 years of experience in New York to shape sessions around each person's needs. He listens first, then offers strategies tailored to specific problems.
Background and approach
Those strategies may include thought-focused work, skills for regulating emotion, and conversations about relationship patterns. In session he emphasizes clear goals and small steps. Clients may work on routines for sleep and eating, skills for handling anger, or plans to reduce addictive behaviors.
He also helps with career stress, grief, and questions about identity and intimacy. Jesse uses a mix of approaches so treatment fits the person. He blends client-centered listening with cognitive techniques and emotion-regulation skills.
He also draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning, and on relationship-focused methods to improve communication. He aims to create a respectful space where people can test new ways of coping. Sessions focus on what is useful in daily life, not on abstract theory.
For parents, that can mean practical tools to reduce household stress and improve interactions with children.

Approach choices that fit online care
Jesse often uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy as core tools. Client-centered work means the therapist follows your concerns and priorities, listening closely and shaping sessions around what you say matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and keeps the work relevant to daily life.Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, behaviors, and moods. It offers clear exercises and experiments to change unhelpful thinking and build new routines, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and addictive patterns.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Jesse will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and what’s happening in life right now. He may try different techniques and adjust pacing so the work feels useful.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer no video. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options offer flexibility for people juggling parenting, work, or other responsibilities.
