About Jesse

Dr. Jesse Collins welcomes Florida residents seeking practical, goal-oriented support for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, grief, and life transitions.

Background and approach

He frames therapy around each persons priorities, helping clients clarify what matters most and build skills to manage emotions, improve communication, and regain daily functioning. With a focus on coaching, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career challenges, and coping with major life changes, he aims to make therapy relevant and usable for real-world problems.

Collins brings 17 years of clinical experience as an LMHC practicing in Florida, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered principles to tailor work to individual needs. His approach balances structured skill-building with empathic listening so clients can both understand unhelpful patterns and practice alternatives that fit their lives.

He also addresses a broad set of related issues including abandonment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, end-of-life and hospice concerns, workplace difficulties, post-traumatic stress, and sexual assault and abuse. Sessions are offered through online formats suitable for residents of Florida.

Prospective clients are invited to begin by completing a brief questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability, making it straightforward to connect and start collaborative work toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches for online healing and growth

Dr. Collins uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learn practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and tackle stress-related problems. This approach emphasizes real-world exercises and structured strategies that clients can apply between sessions.

He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes empathic listening and respect for the client's perspective. That approach supports building self-awareness, strengthening coping resources, and fostering a collaborative, supportive therapeutic relationship.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs and then tailor techniques from CBT and client-centered work to fit. This shared decision-making helps ensure the plan evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule care around work and family obligations. These options can increase accessibility and continuity of care, allowing clients in Florida to engage in consistent, skills-focused work from locations that suit their routines.
