Jesse Weight, LPC

Jesse Weight is an EMDR-certified counselor who focuses on trauma in its many forms and brings a direct, practical approach to therapy. She works with people coping with grief, disability-related challenges, substance use disorders, and self-harming behaviors, and provides gender-affirming care for LGBT individuals. Jesse practices from an Existential and Feminist perspective that emphasizes inclusivity, nonjudgment, and real-world skills, combining compassion with therapies grounded in research.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Jesse blends evidence-supported methods with transparent communication about treatment choices and goals. She prioritizes therapies that are shown to produce results and tailors interventions to each person’s needs, helping clients build clear, usable strategies for living. Jesse aims to give people a better understanding of how their minds work and practical tools to navigate difficult experiences—she likens this to offering an owner’s manual for the brain.

Jesse uses she/her pronouns. If anyone feels they need immediate help or are in crisis at any time during treatment, she advises calling 1-800-273-TALK or 911, since this service does not provide emergency response.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Jesse uses several therapeutic approaches that adapt effectively to remote work. EMDR is a trauma-focused therapy that helps people process distressing memories through structured bilateral stimulation and guided recall; it is often used for post-traumatic stress and other trauma-related symptoms. Existential therapy explores questions of meaning, choice, and values, helping people navigate life transitions, grief, and questions about identity in a reflective, collaborative way. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for self-harm behaviors, intense emotions, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jesse works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress is made. That partnership helps ensure the work is both relevant and workable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into a busy life or to work with a licensed professional from another location. These options support consistent engagement and make it possible to access therapy from home, work, or while traveling.
