Charlotte Lajoie

Charlotte Lajoie is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people with relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She brings 18 years of professional experience and works with clients who want coaching alongside therapy. Charlotte aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful. She began her clinical work in a psychiatric hospital and in community mental health before opening a private practice in Florida. Those settings shaped a practical approach that blends mindfulness, nervous-system awareness, and cognitive behavioral work. Sessions focus on clear, doable steps and on noticing how thoughts and body states affect everyday choices. Charlotte uses several therapy approaches and adapts them to each person. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed action. She also uses attachment-informed work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Her style is warm and straightforward. She pays attention to things like shame, guilt, and body image while helping people sort communication problems, control issues, and the fallout of separation or loss. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, or end-of-life concerns. Charlotte tailors dialogue and treatment plans to each person’s needs. She emphasizes practical skills from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches when helpful. Clients are encouraged to work at a pace that fits their life while building new ways to handle impulses, forgiveness, and difficult emotions.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small actions that match those values. It helps with stuckness, overwhelm, and decisions that follow big life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and connection. It is useful for people who notice repeating relationship problems, fears of abandonment, or difficulty trusting others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to emphasize values-based action, attachment exploration, or skills-focused work like cognitive or dialectical techniques.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a steady course of work from familiar surroundings. Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm available options before booking. Sessions aim to blend practical skill building, mindful awareness, and relational insight so people can apply what they learn to daily life.
