More About Jesse Miller
Clinical Interests:
I primarily work with individuals who battle anxiety, depression, and other forms of emotional dysregulation. My goal is to work with these individuals to help them identify the core of what is causing their struggles, so we can together uncover key insights that aid the recovery process and provide my clients with tools uniquely tailored to their needs.
Clinical Approach:
I use a powerful combination of Cognitive-Behavioral therapy and Person-Centered therapy. Cognitive-Behavioral therapy is a method that helps us become aware of how our actions and cognition are connected, giving us insight into what makes us uniquely us and how we can shape that person into who we desire to become by taking actionable steps and practicing mindfulness. Person-Centered therapy is an approach that focuses on the client’s perception of their needs using unconditional positive regard, the notion that an individual knows their reality better than anyone else, and therefore knows their needs better than anyone else. This informs my counseling by ensuring my clients’ concerns come first, without counselor bias, by seeking a collaborative solution that centers on the client. Together, these practices are designed to help clients develop practical, everyday skills to navigate the uncertainties of life while maintaining concern for the client’s autonomy and authority within and outside our counseling sessions.
Hobbies:
I am a lover of all things fantasy and science fiction, including movies, novels, video games, and more. In my spare time, I love socializing with my friends by going out to dinner or gathering for board games. I have never been a great artist, so I enjoy doing model kits in my free time as they allow me some creative expression while being nuanced and detail-focused. Additionally, I love going to concerts and tend to go to about 8 or 9 per year. I also love camping and try to go at least twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall.
