How Jesse uses evidence-based approaches online
Jesse commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR to address distressing thoughts and trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or anger and on practicing small behavioral changes to shift how someone feels. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used to help process painful memories so they become less triggering over time.He also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and to strengthen readiness for change. Together, these methods give options for both immediate coping skills and longer-term work on traumatic memories. Jesse works with each person to choose the approaches that match their goals and comfort level, so treatment is a collaborative decision rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit day-to-day life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera feels hard. Chat and messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These formats make it simpler to attend regularly and to try techniques between meetings.
