About Jesse
Jesse Palermo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 14 years of professional experience. He works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, bipolar disorder, depression, and issues related to blended families.
He uses straightforward conversation to clarify what is causing pressure at home and in relationships. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Jesse adapts the pace to what each person needs and keeps sessions focused on immediate concerns and next steps.
Jesse draws on several approaches in his work. He uses client-centered methods to follow a person's priorities. He applies cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. He also blends elements from dialectical behavior therapy and existential ideas when they fit the problem.
Many adults come for help with grief, intimacy, sleep, parenting stress, or career strain. Others bring concerns about ADHD, trauma, or identity issues. Jesse aims to help people sort priorities, reduce overwhelming feelings, and build clearer routines.
He will listen to what you want to change and discuss options that fit your situation. If you are balancing a new partner and children, managing co-parenting tensions, or coping with loyalty conflicts in a stephousehold, he helps break complex problems into manageable steps.
Approaches used online and what they do
Jesse commonly works with client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work means sessions follow the person's priorities and explore what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and tests new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.He also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotion regulation or distress tolerance is needed. DBT-style techniques teach concrete skills for reducing overwhelm and improving communication in tense situations, such as co-parenting disagreements in a blended household.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try an approach for a few sessions, and adjust based on what helps. Finding a comfortable fit is part of the work rather than a one-time choice.
