Jesse Schiavone, LPC

Jesse Schiavone is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia. He has 12 years of experience helping people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn. Jesse focuses on clear, practical steps so conversations turn into change.

He uses a straightforward style that centers on each person's needs and goals. Sessions are a place to sort through stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, or struggles with mood and motivation. Jesse pays attention to how daily habits, thoughts, and interactions shape feelings and choices.

In treatment he combines cognitive behavioral ideas with client-centered listening and solution-focused planning. That means identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, while also staying focused on concrete next steps. He works with issues like addiction, grief, family-origin concerns, communication problems, and life transitions.

Jesse aims to make therapy practical. He helps people build skills for managing anger, improving self-esteem, and clarifying life purpose. Sessions can include discussion, problem-solving, and short exercises to try between meetings.

People who come to Jesse often want clear tools and a supportive, respectful conversation. He tailors the plan to what each person needs and checks in as progress is made. The goal is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

How Jesse’s Approaches Work Online

Jesse uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in ways meant to be easy to use in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with practical strategies for managing anxiety, mood, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective so goals come from what matters most to them.

He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to keep sessions goal-oriented and action-driven. That approach looks for small, achievable steps and builds on whatever is already working in a person's life. Together these approaches help move from talking to doing, with a focus on measurable progress rather than lengthy theory discussions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a team effort. Jesse will work with each person to identify needs, preferences, and short-term goals, then adapt methods as they go. That collaborative process helps ensure sessions feel relevant and useful from the first few meetings.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or busy home routines and let people choose the format that helps them stay consistent.
