About Jesse
Jesse Schiff is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anger, anxiety, addictions, and related struggles. He offers steady, nonjudgmental support for those trying to make changes and feel more able in everyday life. He builds a calm space where people can talk about upsetting thoughts and strong feelings.
Sessions focus on what matters most to each person and move at a practical pace. Jesse emphasizes clear goals and real steps clients can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Jesse uses client-centered work to listen and reflect what a person is feeling. That approach helps people feel heard and better understand their reactions. He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors and tests small changes to reduce distress.
Over nine years of experience inform his plainspoken approach. He describes compassion fatigue as one area he has helped people manage. His New York license is LCSW, which indicates his training and clinical background in social work.
Sessions may include talking through triggers for anger, practicing new ways to cope, and planning for stressful moments. Jesse helps people weigh options, try new skills, and track what works. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How Jesse Uses Talk and Thought Work Online
Jesse draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can explore what matters most. It helps when someone needs space to sort through strong emotions like anger or grief.Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small, practical changes to reduce anxiety, anger, or low mood. This approach is useful for coping skills, managing impulses, and changing routines that cause stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Jesse works with each person to set goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. He encourages feedback so the plan matches the client's needs and day-to-day life.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can fit a lunch break or a low-bandwidth moment. Live chat or text can work for brief check-ins, homework support, or when typing is easier than talking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy schedule.
