About Jesse

Jesse Palermo is a New York licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, mood concerns, relationship difficulties, and ADHD. He approaches each client with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping sessions and treatment plans around the individual needs and goals presented.

Background and approach

Jesse emphasizes practical support while attending to the emotional experience that accompanies life changes and persistent challenges. His style blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed methods to address patterns that interfere with daily functioning and well-being.

Clients can expect collaborative conversations that explore coping strategies, communication habits, self-esteem, and intimacy-related matters, among other concerns. Jesse aims to create a space where taking the first step toward a more satisfying life feels possible and supported.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Jesse draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and understood while exploring their goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for issues like anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Jesse works collaboratively to determine what methods fit a person's needs and preferences. He tailors the mix of empathic support and skills-based interventions based on each client's goals, building a plan together and adjusting it as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access ongoing care from New York, maintain consistent appointments, and integrate therapeutic work into day-to-day life without requiring travel.
