Charlotte Lajoie

Charlotte Lajoie is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 18 years of professional experience. She offers a calm, straightforward approach for people facing relationship strain, trauma or abuse, low self-esteem, and the stress of major life changes. Charlotte describes beginning therapy as an important step and aims to make the first contact feel manageable.

She trained in a psychiatric hospital and in community mental health before moving into private practice. That background means she has worked in higher-intensity clinical settings and in community-focused services. In sessions she blends modern ideas about the nervous system, mindfulness exercises, and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people gain insight and reduce distress.

Her work is person-centered; conversations are guided by what each client brings to the room. She tailors questions, pacing, and exercises to match the client’s needs and preferences rather than using a single scripted method. This includes attention to attachment patterns, values-based action, and practical skills for managing emotions and behavior.

Charlotte also addresses concerns such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, communication struggles, forgiveness, and grief around end-of-life care. She acknowledges the effort it takes to begin therapy and aims to support people through those early steps toward change.

People can expect a respectful, sensitive tone during sessions and a focus on tools that fit everyday life. The conversation is collaborative, with an emphasis on small, usable changes that build over time.

Online approaches that match your needs

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when life changes feel overwhelming or when someone wants more meaning and direction.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of relating influence current relationships. It helps people understand hurtful patterns, improve trust, and make different choices in close connections.

Charlotte will work together with you to find the right approach. She treats the choice of methods as a shared decision based on your goals, comfort level, and what you notice is helpful. That collaborative process can include trying a few techniques and adapting them over time.

The biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical needs. They also let people use shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or choose phone-only meetings if bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and attachment work to these formats while focusing on skills and insight that translate into daily life.
