How Jesse’s Approaches Work Online

Jesse commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR when helping people deal with anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on noticing patterns of thinking and behavior, then testing practical changes to improve mood and daily functioning. EMDR is a trauma-focused technique that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

He also draws on motivational interviewing to support readiness for change. That approach helps people clarify their goals and find their own reasons to try new behaviors. Choosing which methods to use is a team effort - the therapist and client discuss needs, goals, and preferences and then try options that feel right together.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for a full session with visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets someone check in quickly, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options let people fit therapy into busy days and adjust how they connect as needs change.
