About Jesse
Jesse Palermo is a licensed clinical social worker based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship pain, and mood challenges. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Jesse frames therapy as a collaborative effort and aims to meet each person where they are.
He draws on 14 years of clinical experience to shape conversations and treatment plans that fit individual needs.
Background and approach
Sessions balance listening with concrete skills for managing symptoms like worry, low mood, sleep problems, or anger. That mix helps people cope with life changes and day-to-day demands. Jesse uses a blend of approaches depending on the concern.
He applies client-centered methods to create an open space for people to talk, and cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. For emotional regulation and distress tolerance he brings in techniques from dialectical behavior work when they suit the situation. He also addresses intimacy, body image, grief, parenting stress, and identity-related struggles including LGBT issues.
Additional focus areas include attachment concerns, communication problems, and codependency. Jesse adapts pace and focus to each person, whether they need short-term coping strategies or longer-term reflection. People meet him for straightforward guidance and steady support while they make changes.
He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion as the backbone of the work. Taking the first step can feel hard, and he aims to make the process clearer and more manageable.

Approaches and online support that fit your life
Jesse often uses client-centered therapy to create an accepting space where people can tell their story and identify what matters to them. That approach focuses on understanding and respect, helping people feel heard before moving into change work.He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday worries because it offers clear exercises and homework that produce change.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Jesse will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches match their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This helps build a tailored path rather than forcing one method on everyone.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or audio-only check-ins are preferred, and text or chat can support brief updates and between-session coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on steady progress.
