Getting to know Jesse Matarese
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in New York, I specialize in providing compassionate, evidence-based virtual therapy for individuals, couples, and families. My practice is rooted in helping clients navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, stress, and personal growth. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFBT), and family systems approaches to create personalized strategies that support healing and lasting change.
Whether you are seeking support for your marriage, improving family communication, or addressing personal struggles, I provide a safe and collaborative virtual space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered. My goal is to help clients build healthier relationships, develop effective coping skills, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
I welcome clients of all backgrounds and offer flexible online sessions tailored to the unique needs of individuals, couples, and families throughout New York State.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Clients working with me can expect a supportive, collaborative, and goal-oriented therapy experience. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in New York, I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and navigate life’s challenges through virtual sessions that fit into busy schedules.
My background includes working with diverse populations and clinical teams, which has given me expertise in addressing complex needs such as relationship conflict, anxiety, stress, depression, life transitions, and family dynamics. I use a tailored, evidence-based approach that integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to create meaningful and lasting change.
Clients appreciate my warm, direct, and practical style, where therapy is not just about understanding challenges but also building skills and strategies for real-life results. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where every client feels heard, supported, and empowered to move toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in New York, my process begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand each client’s unique needs, goals, and challenges. In our first session, we explore your history, current concerns, and what you would like to achieve through therapy. From there, I collaborate with individuals, couples, and families to create a customized treatment plan that is both goal-oriented and flexible.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Sessions are interactive, supportive, and tailored to help clients develop practical skills for improving communication, managing stress and anxiety, navigating relationship conflict, and building healthier patterns.
I believe therapy should be a collaborative journey. Clients can expect a safe, nonjudgmental, and structured virtual environment where we focus not only on understanding challenges but also on creating real, lasting change. Whether working on strengthening a marriage, addressing family dynamics, or supporting personal growth, I guide clients step by step toward greater clarity, resilience, and fulfillment.

We had a positive experience with Jesse for our first couples therapy session. He has evening appointments readily available which works out really well with our busy lives. He was personable, friendly and easy to talk to, which made it much easier for both of us to open up. We appreciated his honesty and how he addressed difficult topics in a respectful and constructive way. He created a comfortable, non judgmental space and helped guide our conversation in a way that felt productive and supportive. Looking forward on continuing to work with Jesse.
