About Jesse
Jesse Waltz is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Illinois with 18 years of clinical work. He focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Jesse aims to meet people where they are and help them take manageable steps forward.

Background and approach
Jesse has additional experience with HIV/AIDS, hospice and end-of-life counseling, jealousy, veteran and armed forces issues, and non-monogamous relationships. Jesse approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. He designs the conversation and the plan around a person's individual needs and goals.
Sessions tend to focus on clear, practical steps a person can try between meetings. He offers online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Sessions are delivered in English and international clients are not accepted.
To begin a therapy relationship, a person uses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and then schedules sessions based on the therapist's availability. Costs vary with location and availability and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like
Jesse uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear actions and measurable progress. One common approach is trauma-informed care, which centers on safety and pacing so painful memories can be addressed without becoming overwhelming. This helps people who are coping with abuse, grief, or intense stress.Another frequent element is skills-based coping work. These are practical tools for managing anxiety, improving sleep, handling anger, and building confidence. The goal is to give simple strategies people can try between sessions to reduce daily distress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and life situation and then try methods that feel like a good fit. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, travel, or work hours. Licensed professionals can use these options to maintain momentum and make steady progress without requiring in-person visits.
