About Jesse

Jesse Stapleton is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Oklahoma with seven years of professional experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief and loss, coping with life changes, and anger. He also supports concerns around intimacy, parenting, self-esteem, career, depression, ADHD, and LGBT issues.

Jesse believes clients know their own stories and that their strengths matter in solving problems. In sessions he listens for practical patterns and helps people try manageable changes. He encourages small, doable steps that can reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning.

His approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. EMDR is used for working through traumatic memories when appropriate. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help people set goals and find workable strategies.

In practice Jesse aims for clear conversations about what is getting in the way of calmer responses. He breaks issues into concrete goals, such as lowering tension at work, managing outbursts, or repairing trust after conflicts. Sessions focus on skill-building, problem solving, and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People who reach out are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Jesse works in Oklahoma and conducts sessions in English. His work includes a wide range of life challenges from bereavement to caregiver stress and issues related to adoption or aging.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

EMDR can help process traumatic memories by guiding attention while revisiting upsetting events. Online EMDR sessions focus on stabilizing reactions and working through trauma in paced steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep anger and anxiety active through practical exercises and homework. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify goals and strengthen motivation to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jesse will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That choice can shift as progress is made or new needs emerge.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use video or phone in ways that match their bandwidth and schedule. A conversation at first session will cover how to structure appointments so therapy fits daily life.
