About Charlotte
Charlotte Lajoie is a Florida LMHC with 18 years of professional experience. She began her work in a psychiatric hospital and community mental health before moving into private practice. She works with people dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, and coaching around life transitions.
Charlotte describes using modern understandings of the nervous system together with mindfulness and cognitive strategies. She integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered conversation to help people sort through what matters to them. Sessions focus on clear, practical skills and on noticing patterns that keep old feelings alive.
Her background includes long experience in hospital and community settings, so she is used to supporting people facing complex stress and medical or caregiving challenges. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, control issues, and guilt and shame.
In session she draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and on CBT techniques for shifting unhelpful thinking. The tone of sessions is straightforward and person-centered, with time spent teaching tools and checking how they fit into daily life.
Charlotte adapts treatment to the person's needs and goals. She asks practical questions, helps set achievable steps, and reviews progress as therapy continues.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take small actions that line up with those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It is often used for issues like guilt, shame, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and small experiments. CBT is useful for low self-esteem, anxiety, and coping with change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try. That choice can shift over time based on what helps most.
