About Jesse
Jesse Schiff is a New York licensed clinical social worker who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship tensions, grief, trauma, and compassion fatigue. He approaches care with an emphasis on creating an open, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace.
Background and approach
Jesse encourages clients to recognize the courage it takes to seek change and aims to provide steady support and empowerment throughout the therapeutic process. Using principles from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered work, Jesse helps clients identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical skills for coping with life changes, anger, parenting challenges, and workplace or money-related stress.
His practice also addresses issues such as isolation, intimacy concerns, co-morbidity, and the emotional toll of caregiving. Jesse blends collaborative listening with goal-oriented strategies so that each person can find approaches that fit their life and priorities.
Practical approaches for online therapy and coping
Jesse often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress. CBT focuses on developing practical skills and small experiments that can reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address problematic habits over time.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients can explore their feelings and goals at a comfortable pace. This approach supports work on issues such as grief, relationship concerns, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue by prioritizing the client’s perspective and priorities.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Jesse aims to work collaboratively to determine which methods fit a person’s needs and preferences. He partners with clients to set goals, adjust strategies, and track progress so the work feels relevant and achievable.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These formats let clients choose how they communicate while accessing licensed professionals from their own location, supporting continuity of care and more consistent use of tools learned in therapy.
