Jesse Palermo, LCSW

Jesse Palermo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 14 years of professional experience. He works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, mood concerns such as bipolar and depression, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical steps people can use sooner rather than later.

Jesse favors clear, direct conversations about what is causing trouble day to day. He uses evidence-based techniques alongside longer view work about meaning and patterns. That means some sessions focus on skills and behavior change, while others look at how life events and values shape responses to stress and conflict.

Expect a balance of problem-solving and reflection. Jesse draws from Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation grounded in your priorities. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and DBT skills for managing strong emotions and urges.

He works with people on a wide range of concerns beyond anger, including grief, sleep and eating issues, parenting strain, career questions, and sexual expression topics such as kink and BDSM. Jesse also addresses attachment and communication problems that often underlie repeated conflicts.

Practical matters such as session pacing, homework, and short term goals are discussed early. To begin, Jesse asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session where immediate priorities are identified.
