About Jesse

Jesse Stapleton is an LCSW practicing in Oklahoma who brings seven years of clinical experience to his work.

Background and approach

He focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, coping with life changes, LGBT concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career and depression, and he also lists ADHD among his areas of focus. He values a strengths-based perspective and approaches each person as the expert in their own story.

Jesse integrates evidence-informed techniques to help people move forward from difficult experiences and to build practical skills for daily life. He emphasizes collaboration and encourages clients to draw on existing resources while exploring new strategies.

Whether someone is navigating loss, communication problems, commitment dilemmas, caregiver stress, or sexual and intimacy concerns, he aims to create a supportive therapeutic space that honors each person’s goals and pace.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Jesse commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is practical and often helps with anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress management. He also integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when working with trauma-related memories and intense emotional reactions, using structured processing to reduce distress associated with past events. Motivational Interviewing is another tool he draws on to support people who are weighing change, helping to clarify values and build internal motivation for goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jesse works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. He emphasizes pacing the work to match readiness and adjusts techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for schedules and comfort levels. These formats can make it easier to maintain consistency in sessions, access support from home, and use shorter check-ins alongside longer meetings when helpful.
