How Jesse's Approaches Work Online

Jesse uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often through practical exercises and skill practice. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, and everyday stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.

He also draws on trauma-focused methods, including EMDR-related techniques, to address painful or intrusive memories. These methods aim to reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories and improve day-to-day functioning when trauma is part of a person's story.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of the work. Jesse will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit those needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The choice of techniques is guided by what the person wants to accomplish and how they respond in session.
