Jesse Smith-Fulia, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker who believes in the transformative power of honest conversation. With experience supporting adults through anxiety, self-esteem issues, trauma, and the complexities of everyday life, Jesse brings a thoughtful and grounded presence to each session. He primarily draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused approaches, and elements of DBT to help clients build insight, resilience, and real-world coping skills they can use between sessions.
Jesse’s style is conversational, compassionate, and free of judgment. He creates a space where clients feel safe to drop the social mask and be fully themselves. Clients often find relief in his calm, open approach and appreciate his ability to meet them where they are with presence and empathy. Outside of therapy, Jesse enjoys reading to his kids, running, and trying to improve his Spanish—one podcast at a time. He considers it a privilege to walk alongside people as they shift the course of their lives, one meaningful conversation at a time.
