Charlotte Lajoie

Charlotte Lajoie is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 18 years of experience who helps people navigate relationship strain, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes. She also works with clients on coaching goals and a wide range of related concerns, including caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, communication problems, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. Charlotte writes simply and directly, and she aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

Her background includes work in a psychiatric hospital and in community mental health before moving into private practice. That range of experience shaped a practical, down-to-earth style. Sessions focus on what a person is living with now and what they want to change next. Charlotte draws on modern understandings of the nervous system, mindfulness, and cognitive work to support insight and change.

She uses several therapy approaches to match each person’s needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Conversations are tailored to the individual and their goals rather than a fixed protocol.

Clients can expect a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate tone. Charlotte aims to tailor dialogue and a plan that fits someone's specific circumstances. She emphasizes small steps and practical tools alongside emotional processing.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges that courage. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule a session based on availability.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps that fit those values. It often helps people who feel stuck, face major life changes, or struggle with chronic pain and difficult emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect current connections and trust. It can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and communication problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person in the room, with the therapist offering empathy and nonjudgmental listening to help someone find their own answers.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Charlotte works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as needs change, combining practical tools with emotional exploration so the work feels relevant and doable.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to use mindfulness exercises, worksheets, and skills practice during sessions in ways that support progress between appointments.
