About Charlotte
Charlotte Lajoie is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 18 years of professional experience. She helps people facing relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She also offers coaching for people seeking clearer direction and practical tools.
Her early work began in a psychiatric hospital and community mental health. That background shaped a straightforward, steady approach to care. Sessions mix practical skills with attention to how the nervous system responds to stress and threat.
Background and approach
Charlotte uses mindfulness and cognitive strategies to reduce overwhelm and increase clarity. She also draws on attachment ideas to help people understand relationship patterns. Conversations are tailored to the person in the room and focused on what matters most to them.
She works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, communication problems, control issues, and divorce or separation. First responder issues, forgiveness, gender dysphoria, guilt and shame, hoarding, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and impulsivity are also within her focus areas. Charlotte aims to treat each person with respect and sensitivity.
She will build a plan with you that fits your needs and goals. Taking the first step is often the hardest part, and she welcomes starting that process with you.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Charlotte often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT focuses on increasing psychological flexibility so people can move toward what matters despite discomfort.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach can be useful for improving trust, communication, and closeness in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like scheduling flexibility and easier access from different locations. Video calls let you work face-to-face from afar, phone sessions require less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when writing helps you process. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or health needs while still using evidence-based approaches.
