About Jesse
Jesse Palermo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 14 years of experience. He works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship troubles, bipolar disorder, depression, and related concerns. Jesse also addresses issues tied to family of origin, grief, intimacy, and self-esteem.
He uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help people notice patterns that began in childhood and still influence current choices. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small changes that can make daily life easier. Jesse draws on approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide that work.
In the first few meetings he listens to what matters most and maps out a plan together. That plan can include skills for managing strong emotions, ways to rethink unhelpful thoughts, and steps to repair important relationships. He pays attention to how family roles and expectations shape behavior without blaming parents.
Jesse works with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, sleep and eating problems, caregiver stress, body image, and issues related to kink and alternative sex culture. He also supports people facing career changes and aging-related questions. His style is direct and practical, aimed at clear, usable strategies.
Sessions are conducted in English in New York. People interested in starting are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to see if the approach fits their needs.
How Jesse’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people identify what matters to them. It supports clearer self-understanding and helps clients set personal goals for change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and short tasks to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It can be useful for people who need concrete tools to manage intense feelings and improve communication.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jesse will discuss options, try methods that match your goals, and adjust the plan based on how things are going. The aim is to find techniques that feel useful and manageable for everyday life.
