Jesse Weight , LPC

Jesse Weight is an EMDR-certified Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oregon who focuses on trauma in all of its many forms. With a commitment to practical, skillful care, she draws on therapies that are supported by evidence and delivered with clear communication so clients understand the methods being used and what to expect.

Her clinical work also includes supporting people through grief, disability-related concerns, substance use disorders, and self-harming behaviors. Jesse has experience providing care for LGBT clients and offers gender-affirming support within an inclusive, nonjudgmental framework. She blends an Existential and Feminist perspective to help clients explore meaning, values, and identity while attending to concrete goals and coping skills.

Jesse approaches therapy with dedication and transparency, aiming to help people develop practical strategies and deeper self-understanding. She frames therapeutic work as yielding real results and likens part of the process to offering an owner's manual for understanding and working with one's brain. Jesse uses approaches such as EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - alongside other evidence-based modalities to tailor treatment to each person's needs.

If someone feels they are in crisis or need urgent help at any time during work together, they should call 1-800-273-TALK or 911. This forum does not provide any type of emergency services, so she asks clients to use those resources if immediate assistance is needed.

Online Approaches and How They Work Together

Jesse draws on several therapeutic approaches to address trauma, emotion regulation, and the challenges that follow difficult life experiences. EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - is a somatic and memory-focused therapy used to help process traumatic memories and reduce the intensity of distressing reactions. Existential Therapy helps clients explore meaning, values, and personal responsibility when facing life transitions, loss, or questions about identity. Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing self-harm behaviors, making it useful for people struggling with regulation and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jesse works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds so treatment remains aligned with what the client finds most helpful.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it possible to access licensed professionals from different locations and on flexible schedules. These options let clients fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity of care through relocation or travel, and choose communication styles that feel most comfortable while working toward their goals.
