About Jesse

Jesse Weight is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Oregon who focuses on helping people navigate trauma and a wide range of emotional challenges.

Background and approach

She brings eight years of clinical experience to work with concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues, and she also supports clients facing body image, chronic illness, communication, and attachment-related difficulties. Jesse emphasizes evidence-informed interventions and strives to give clients practical skills alongside deeper therapeutic insight.

Her approach blends trauma-informed work with Existential and feminist perspectives, creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients' values and agency are foregrounded. Jesse uses therapies backed by research, including EMDR for trauma processing, CBT for shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and ACT and DBT strategies to build coping skills and emotional regulation.

She aims to make therapy transparent and results-oriented, helping clients develop tools they can use beyond the counseling room. Jesse accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

She encourages people to reach out when they need support and to use emergency resources if they are in crisis, noting that online messaging does not replace immediate emergency help.

How Jesse Integrates Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Therapy

Jesse uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mood-related challenges by teaching practical coping strategies. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people in clarifying their values and building psychological flexibility, useful for managing chronic stress, grief, and life changes. In addition, EMDR is included for clients who are processing traumatic memories and need a structured method to reduce the intensity of past events.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Jesse works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, and together they determine which combination of methods best fits the work ahead. This process allows treatment to be tailored and adjusted as needs evolve.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility around work, caregiving, mobility, and time zones. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice skills between sessions while accommodating different comfort levels with remote communication.
