About Jesse
Jesse Palermo is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York with 14 years of professional experience.
Background and approach
He works with adults facing a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, bipolar disorder, depression, trauma and grief, and challenges around self-esteem and life transitions. Jesse also addresses specialized areas such as body image, attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, and concerns related to sexual expression and kink within relationships.
Jesse draws from several evidence-informed approaches to shape individualized care. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and integrates Client-Centered principles to prioritize each person’s values and lived experience.
When appropriate, he incorporates skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and relational tools influenced by the Gottman Method to support emotional regulation and healthier communication. Sessions are tailored to each client’s goals, with an emphasis on respectful, compassionate collaboration throughout the therapeutic process.
How Jesse’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
CBT helps clients notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and addictive cycles; online sessions can support skill practice, thought records, and plan development in a practical way. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so the therapist follows each person’s priorities and pace while building a supportive alliance that guides treatment choices. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be taught and practiced through video or messaging to reinforce daily use.Choosing an approach is part of the therapeutic work, and Jesse aims to help clients figure out the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He collaborates with each person to combine methods as useful, adjusting focus as progress and life circumstances evolve.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging emphasizes flexibility and accessibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or mobility constraints. These formats make it easier to attend sessions, try tools between meetings, and maintain continuity of care when life is busy or changing.
