About Charlotte
Charlotte Lajoie is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 18 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with relationship stress, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Charlotte also offers coaching to support practical steps and clearer goals when someone feels stuck.
She began her work in a psychiatric hospital and in community mental health before moving into private practice. That range of settings shaped a down-to-earth approach that blends clinical knowledge with everyday language. Charlotte draws on modern understandings of the nervous system, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide sessions.
Her approach is flexible and collaborative. She listens, then tailors conversations and goals to each person’s needs. Sessions may touch on attachment wounds, abandonment, communication problems, control issues, and the emotional impact of chronic illness or caregiving stress.
Charlotte also supports people facing divorce and separation, forgiveness work, body image concerns, grief and hospice issues, first responder stress, and questions around gender identity. She uses elements from acceptance work, attachment-based methods, client-centered listening, and skills-based therapies like DBT when helpful.
Charlotte aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She frames therapy as a shared process and helps clients find practical strategies they can try between sessions.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, shame, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape trust and closeness, which can help with intimacy, abandonment, and communication struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, useful for low self-esteem, trauma symptoms, and coping with change.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Methods can be mixed and adjusted over time based on what helps most.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer video for face-to-face conversation, while others choose audio for lower bandwidth or less camera time. The therapist will discuss practical scheduling and format choices when you begin so sessions fit your everyday life.
