About Jesse Weight

Jesse Weight (she/her) is an EMDR-certified Licensed Professional Counselor who concentrates on trauma and its many expressions. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a therapy she is trained to use alongside other approaches to help people process difficult memories and reduce their lasting impact. Jesse brings years of focused experience addressing grief, disability-related challenges, substance use disorders, self-harming behaviors, and issues affecting LGBT clients, including gender-affirming care.

She practices from an Existential and feminist perspective that emphasizes inclusivity, nonjudgment, and practical strategies that fit a client's life. Her work is grounded in evidence-based methods and delivered with transparency, with an emphasis on measurable progress and useful skills. Jesse aims to help people understand how their minds and behaviors connect and to provide concrete tools that feel like an owner's manual for navigating everyday challenges.

Because safety is important in any therapeutic relationship, she encourages anyone who is in crisis to call 1-800-273-TALK at any hour or to dial 911. She makes clear that this forum does not provide emergency services and wants clients to know who to contact if immediate help is needed.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Jesse

Jesse integrates several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR - is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories so they carry less emotional charge; it can be helpful for people coping with traumatic events and their aftermath. Existential therapy explores meaning, choice, and personal values to help people navigate life transitions, loss, and questions about identity in a way that feels authentic. Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing self-harming behaviors through mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jesse works with clients to assess their goals, preferences, and life circumstances and adjusts techniques over time to find the best fit. She frames therapy as a partnership focused on clear, attainable outcomes.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow licensed professionals like Jesse to provide ongoing support that fits into daily life, reduces travel barriers, and makes it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or changing schedules.
