About Jesse
Jesse Stapleton is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. He works with adults facing relationship and intimacy struggles, career strain, and challenges tied to ADHD and self-esteem. Jesse keeps language simple and practical so worried parents and busy adults can follow along.
His approach begins with listening closely to the person's story and strengths. He views clients as the experts on their lives and partners with them to set clear, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small steps that fit into everyday routines rather than long lists of abstract tasks. Jesse uses a mix of tools drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas, trauma-focused methods, and solution-focused conversations. That means he helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice skills between sessions, and build on what already works.
He also draws from eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when trauma memories interfere with daily life. Over seven years in practice he has supported people dealing with caregiving stress, professional burnout, and complex grief. He also has experience with concerns related to adoption and foster care, aging, and serious illness.
Jesse aims for straightforward, respectful sessions that fit into each person's life. He holds LCSW credentials in Oklahoma and conducts sessions in English. People can expect a collaborative tone, practical skill-building, and clear steps to try between meetings.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Jesse commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused approaches in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral methods involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new skills between meetings to reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning. Trauma-focused approaches and EMDR-related work help people process distressing memories and reduce their hold on daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss your goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then recommend methods and adjust as needed. This shared decision making helps match tools to your situation and keeps sessions practical and focused.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and real-time skill coaching. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera helps you concentrate. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when fitting therapy into a busy day.
