About Charlotte
Charlotte Lajoie is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 18 years of professional experience. She lists relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and coaching among her primary areas of focus. Charlotte draws on clinical knowledge developed in psychiatric hospital and community mental health settings as well as private practice work.
She uses practical tools such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioral techniques, and an understanding of the nervous system to help people manage intense feelings. Sessions emphasize clear, down-to-earth conversation rather than jargon. The aim is to help clients notice patterns and try new ways of responding to old problems.
Charlotte often addresses issues related to attachment, abandonment, and communication problems. She also works with people facing chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and matters connected to gender and sexual identity. Concerns such as guilt, shame, body image, hoarding, and impulsivity are also part of her practice.
Her approach integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. That mix allows for skills training, emotional processing, and attention to how relationships shape reactions.
Clients can expect a conversational style that adapts to the problem at hand. Charlotte describes initial engagement as a shared task: clarifying what matters now, testing practical strategies, and adjusting the plan as progress and setbacks occur.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action in small, practical steps, which can help when someone feels directionless after a life change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches concrete skills for testing unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors, useful for managing self-esteem issues and anxiety about next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That discussion shapes whether ACT, CBT, attachment-focused ideas, or skills from DBT become the main focus.
The biography does not specify which remote session formats are used, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow focused skills practice between meetings. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises for web or phone sessions, such as short check-ins, guided mindfulness, or worksheets to use between appointments. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life without promising a particular result.
