About Jesse
Jesse Schiavone is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, self-esteem struggles, depression, addictions, family issues, trauma and abuse, and related concerns including social anxiety and phobia. He practices in Virginia and works with adults and adolescents. Sessions address practical problems and emotional hurdles in straightforward terms.
Jesse prefers a conversational, client-centered approach that keeps the person’s goals in view. He uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable steps people can try between sessions.
In sessions people can expect clear, down-to-earth discussion about what’s getting in the way of daily functioning. He helps people break problems into manageable parts and build concrete skills for coping, communication, and decision-making. Work may include addressing commitment issues, communication problems, family of origin concerns, and isolation or loneliness.
Jesse can support people managing mood disorders, grief, intimacy-related issues, and career or life-purpose questions. He also works with those dealing with forgiveness, infidelity, jealousy, and rebuilding self-love after setbacks. The focus is on practical steps and real-life solutions.
For people worried about starting therapy, Jesse explains the process, discusses options, and helps set realistic first goals. He uses the client’s feedback to shape the plan as work proceeds.
How Jesse uses CBT and Client-Centered work online
Jesse uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen to what matters most to the person and shape sessions around their goals. This approach focuses on understanding the person’s perspective and building a working relationship that guides problem-solving and decision-making.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot and change thought patterns that contribute to anxiety or low mood. CBT offers practical tools for testing thoughts, trying behavioral experiments, and learning new coping skills that can reduce avoidance, including with social anxiety and phobia.
Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, achievable goals and identify steps that produce quick, visible improvements. It helps people try short experiments between sessions and track what works, which can feel more manageable when facing social fears or confidence challenges.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Jesse will review goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what the person prefers and what helps most. That means early sessions are often about figuring out which tools to focus on and setting simple first steps.
