About Jesse
Jesse Weight is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. She offers straightforward care for concerns like grief, self-esteem, sleep and eating struggles, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Jesse speaks English and works with clients in Oregon and internationally.
Jesse draws on practical, evidence-informed approaches to meet each person's needs. She combines elements of acceptance-based work, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and skills from dialectical approaches.
Background and approach
She also uses existential ideas to help people find meaning and direction after loss or big life changes. In sessions she aims to be direct and nonjudgmental. She focuses on helping people learn skills they can use between meetings.
That might mean practicing new ways of managing emotion, building routines that aid sleep and mood, or working through painful memories at a pace that feels tolerable. Jesse has eight years of counseling experience and holds an LPC credential.
Her background includes work with people dealing with substance use, self-harm behaviors, chronic illness and disability, and a broad range of trauma and stress responses. She also supports LGBT people and provides gender-affirming care. Therapy with Jesse is collaborative.
She helps clients set concrete goals, track progress, and adjust methods when something isn’t working. The approach emphasizes practical tools alongside conversations about values, identity, and recovery.
How Jesse Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
Jesse commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and EMDR-informed work when appropriate. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters most, and take steps toward those values even with difficult feelings present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems like anxiety and depression active, often with practical exercises and homework. EMDR-informed approaches can be used to process painful memories by pairing focused attention with guided techniques to reduce the intensity of distressing memories.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jesse talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. She adapts methods over time so the work aligns with the client's needs and pace rather than following a fixed plan.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Video calls allow a fuller face-to-face experience, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern, and live chat or text messaging can provide short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other commitments while using the approaches described above.
