About Jesse

Jesse Palermo is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 14 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood shifts, relationship tensions, or struggles with addiction. Jesse approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion so they can take the next step toward better rest and daily functioning.

Jesse creates a plan that matches each person's needs and goals. Conversations are tailored to what matters most to the client, whether that means managing sleep, reducing anxiety, or sorting out relationship patterns. He uses practical strategies and clear talk so people leave a session with something to try between visits.

Over his career Jesse has supported people dealing with grief, trauma, parenting strain, self-esteem challenges, and difficulties tied to identity and intimacy. He also works with issues such as eating concerns, anger, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. These topics often connect to sleeping problems, so he pays attention to rest as part of day-to-day wellbeing.

Jesse draws on a mix of clinical approaches to fit the situation. He emphasizes collaboration and keeps plans flexible as life changes. People can expect straightforward guidance, listening, and tools to practice outside sessions.

Jesse practices in New York as an LCSW, and he conducts sessions in English. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

How Jesse’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and building a collaborative relationship. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to talk through sleep problems, stress, or relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills for changing them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep-related habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, combines acceptance with skill-building in areas like emotion regulation and distress tolerance and can be useful for intense mood swings and managing strong reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jesse will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that match the client's needs. That process is collaborative, with adjustments made as progress is reviewed together.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet with a licensed professional from wherever they are based. Ask about scheduling and session length when arranging the first appointment.
