About Jesse
Jesse Schiavone is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia. He brings 12 years of clinical experience to helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and relationship problems. Jesse works with adults and adolescents and aims to make the first steps toward change feel doable and respectful.
He keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs and paced to match what they can handle. Jesse listens without judgment and helps clients set clear, practical goals for daily life.
Background and approach
Jesse uses a mix of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That combination lets him balance empathic listening with hands-on strategies for thinking and behavior. He adapts the approach based on what a person needs in the moment.
Common areas he addresses include coping with life changes, grief, addictions, anger, self-esteem, and communication struggles. He also supports people dealing with family-of-origin issues, intimacy concerns, infidelity, and questions about life purpose. Sessions often move from problem clarification to small, manageable steps clients can try between meetings.
Jesse speaks English and practices in Virginia. He holds LPC licensure and aims to create a collaborative space where people feel heard and guided toward practical change.
How Jesse’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy centers each session on the person’s experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters most, and helps people name what they want to change. This approach supports people who need a respectful space to talk through feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood swings, or unhelpful thinking. CBT is useful when people want practical exercises and clear strategies to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jesse reviews goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. He then adjusts methods in collaboration with each person so sessions stay relevant and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make scheduling easier for busy families and individuals. These options let people keep continuity when life is hectic or travel is difficult. They also allow for flexible check-ins and the chance to use short, focused tools between longer conversations.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
