About Jayson
Jayson Brunelle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with ten years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and life changes. He also focuses on related concerns such as communication problems, hoarding, process addictions, and questions of life purpose.
He draws on a mix of approaches to match what a person needs in the room. That includes client-centered work that focuses on the person's experience, cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, dialectical behavior strategies for emotional regulation, and existential and Jungian perspectives that attend to meaning and inner imagery. Sessions look at both symptoms and the values or beliefs that shape choices.
Jayson integrates addiction-focused work alongside pastoral and spiritual perspectives when clients request that context. He has used elements of 12-Step work with people who find it helpful and brings philosophical and theological reflection into conversations about purpose. These influences show up as discussion, reflection, and recommended practices rather than as a single fixed method.
In practical terms he aims to help people clarify what matters next and to find manageable steps forward. That may include skills practice, thought records, behavioral experiments, processing loss, or developing coping lists for mood swings and cravings. He encourages plain language and concrete actions so sessions are easy to follow between meetings.
Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the practice's sign-up steps to schedule an initial appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Jayson uses client-centered work to keep attention on the person's experience and immediate concerns. That approach emphasizes listening, reflection, and helping the client make their own choices about what to change or try next. It is often paired with cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying distorted thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or problematic patterns.He also uses dialectical behavior therapy techniques when emotional regulation and intense mood swings are central concerns. DBT offers concrete skills for distress tolerance, emotion management, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for addiction-related urges and mood instability.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with the client to choose approaches that fit the person's goals, values, and daily life. Together they track what helps and adjust methods as progress unfolds.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity after a life change or when juggling therapy with work and caregiving responsibilities.
