Jessie Staton, LCSW

Jessie Staton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with 12 years of professional experience. He has worked with people facing stress and anxiety, struggles with addictions, relationship and family conflicts, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem challenges, bipolar disorder, and life transitions.

He approaches therapy from a strengths-oriented perspective, believing that each person is the expert of their own story and already has resources to draw on. His work emphasizes collaboration and practical tools that help clients navigate difficult emotions and interpersonal strain while building resilience over time.

Jessie recognizes that starting therapy often takes courage, and he honors that step by offering supportive, respectful care. He aims to create a space where clients can explore challenges, develop coping strategies, and pursue goals at a pace that fits their needs. As an LCSW, he brings clinical training in social work to help individuals and families find sustainable ways forward.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Jessie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying and shifting unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior. These strategies are aimed at reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression and at improving day-to-day functioning by helping clients notice thought patterns and try alternative responses.

He also emphasizes skills-based work for stress, addictions, and coping with life changes. This approach centers on building practical coping strategies - such as emotion regulation, problem-solving, and relapse prevention skills - that clients can apply in real-world situations.

A strengths-based, collaborative stance guides the therapeutic process. Jessie views clients as the experts in their own lives and works together with them to tailor interventions to their needs, goals, and preferences so the chosen approach fits the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, while still working with a licensed professional.
