About Jesse

Jesse Palermo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 14 years of professional experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, bipolar disorder, depression, and LGBT-related issues. He also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, eating and sleeping struggles, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, and ADHD.

Jesse uses straightforward conversation to identify what is most pressing. He listens for patterns in behavior, thought, and daily routines. From there he offers practical steps people can try between sessions and checks what helps and what does not.

His approach draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior strategies among others. That means sessions often focus on what someone wants to change, how thoughts and actions interact, and skills for managing intense emotions. He also uses ideas from existential and Jungian perspectives when questions about meaning or relationships arise.

Sessions tend to be problem-focused and skill-oriented while still allowing time to talk through feelings. Jesse adapts pacing to the person in front of him and prioritizes clear, achievable goals. He asks about daily routines, relationships, work or school pressures, and sleep because those areas affect mental health.

People who choose Jesse can expect direct, practical work aimed at sorting immediate problems and building more stable routines. He asks for collaboration on plans and tracks small changes over time.

BHow sessions work

How Jesse uses his approaches in online work

Jesse draws on client-centered therapy to prioritize the person’s concerns and on cognitive behavioral therapy to map how thoughts and actions keep problems going. Client-centered approaches focus on listening and clarifying what someone most wants to change. CBT looks at thought patterns and offers practical exercises to try between sessions.

He also uses dialectical behavior therapy techniques when emotions run high or when someone needs skills for managing distress. DBT methods teach concrete skills for regulating emotion, tolerating stress, and improving communication, which can be useful for relationship or anger issues.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Jesse collaborates with each person to decide which approaches to use based on their goals, preferences, and daily life demands. He checks in regularly and adjusts plans when a technique is not helping.

Please confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with Jesse about session length, pacing, and how to structure work between meetings so therapy fits into everyday life.
