Jesse Weight, LPC

Jesse Weight is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people dealing with trauma, grief, substance use, and gender-related concerns. She brings an open, nonjudgmental style and aims to give practical tools people can use between sessions. Jesse frames therapy as teamwork and focuses on concrete change rather than vague talk.

With eight years of experience, Jesse draws on approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and existential ideas. She uses methods that match each person’s goals and life situation. Sessions often include skill teaching, symptom management strategies, and close attention to a person’s values and choices.

Jesse has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, LGBT matters, anger, grief, intimacy-related issues, and sleep or eating problems. She also attends to related issues like attachment, body image, chronic illness, codependency, and commitment struggles.

Jesse practices in Oregon and communicates in English. She accepts international clients. Her counseling style emphasizes transparent explanations of methods and practical steps clients can take between sessions.

Therapy with Jesse begins by clarifying what a person most wants to change. From there she and the client pick approaches that fit those goals and track progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online work

Jesse commonly combines Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. EMDR is used to address distressing memories and trauma by helping the brain process upsetting events. CBT focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior that feed anxiety or depression. ACT helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jesse will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they choose methods to try and adjust as progress is tracked.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver skill teaching, guided exercises, and talk-based work that connects to daily life, while tailoring pacing and tools to each person's needs.
