How Jesse uses client-centered work and CBT online

Jesse draws on client-centered therapy to create an accepting space where people can talk through what matters most to them. This approach focuses on the person's priorities and values and helps guide where the work goes next.

He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, phobias, social anxiety, and stress by teaching skills for managing worry and testing assumptions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jesse collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and how quickly to move. He adjusts tools and homework based on feedback and progress.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is good for a full session with visual cues, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and practice skills between meetings.
