Jesse Schiavone, LPC

Jesse Schiavone is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia. He brings 12 years of experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, anger, and issues around self-esteem and motivation.

Jesse works with adults and adolescents. He uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most and to set clear, achievable steps forward. He aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring the plan to individual needs.

In sessions he talks through current struggles and practical ways to change unhelpful patterns. He addresses mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and supports people coping with grief, addiction challenges, and major life changes. He also helps with intimacy-related issues, communication problems, commitment concerns, and family of origin questions.

Jesse uses approaches that focus on the person and on actionable strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change thinking patterns that get in the way. Solution-Focused Therapy highlights small steps that produce noticeable improvement. Client-Centered work keeps the conversation grounded in the client's own goals.

He asks questions to understand values and life priorities, then builds a plan that fits daily life. The tone is practical and collaborative, with a focus on usable skills and steady progress.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy places the client's goals and experiences at the center of sessions and focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration to help people clarify what they want to change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice and shift thoughts and behaviors that drive anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful reactions, making it useful for stress, mood disorders, and many day-to-day problems.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, concrete steps and on strengths that can be used right away to create change, which works well for people who want paced, goal-driven progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then recommend which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find virtual sessions easier to fit into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time and making it simpler to schedule brief check-ins or regular weekly work. Online work can also make it easier to keep momentum between sessions through focused skill practice and follow-up planning.
