About Jesse
Jesse Stapleton is an Oklahoma-licensed clinical social worker who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, and life transitions.
Background and approach
With seven years of professional experience and a strengths-based stance, he centers the client as the expert in their own story while offering structured therapeutic tools to address emotional and interpersonal challenges.
He integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside trauma-informed methods such as EMDR and Trauma-Focused Therapy, as well as Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques, tailoring interventions to the presenting concern. Jesse emphasizes practical skill-building for coping, communication, and emotional regulation while also attending to intimate topics like intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, and identity matters including LGBT-related stress.
Clients seeking help for depression, career strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, or specific focuses such as adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, end-of-life counseling, and alternative sexual cultures will find a clinician experienced across a wide range of issues.
He encourages hopeful engagement with therapy and supports clients as they explore goals, try new strategies, and move toward meaningful change.
Approaches for Online Healing and Practical Change
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress; it emphasizes skills that clients can apply between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps process distressing memories and trauma-related symptoms by using guided bilateral stimulation alongside therapeutic processing to reduce the emotional charge of past events. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that explores ambivalence and enhances motivation for change, often useful for career shifts, habit change, or stages of transition.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and is done collaboratively. The therapist will discuss each method, consider the client's history and goals, and adapt interventions over time so the plan fits the individual's needs and preferences rather than imposing a single technique.
Online therapy with Jesse is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward practical coping strategies and therapeutic goals.
