About Charlotte
Charlotte Lajoie is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida who helps people facing relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She also works with people seeking coaching around goals and life transitions. Her style is direct and respectful, with attention to each person's story and needs.
She began her work in a psychiatric hospital and in community mental health settings before moving into private practice. That range of experience informs how she meets people where they are. Charlotte draws on modern ideas about the nervous system, mindfulness practices, and cognitive behavioral techniques to support insight and change.
Sessions focus on listening closely, identifying patterns, and trying practical steps that fit a person's life. She adapts dialogue and plans to each person's goals rather than using the same approach for everyone. Mindfulness and noticing bodily responses are often part of the work.
Charlotte also pays attention to attachment and how early relationships shape current patterns. She uses acceptance and commitment strategies alongside emotion-focused and skills-based methods to help with shame, control issues, and communication problems. First responder issues, chronic illness-related stress, and caregiver strain are among the varied concerns she addresses.
People who choose her describe therapy as a process of learning new ways to cope, make choices, and rebuild confidence. She emphasizes practical steps, steady pacing, and respect for each person's journey.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then make choices that align with their values. It can be useful for low self-esteem, life transitions, and persistent stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and teaches ways to form safer emotional habits in close relationships. It can help with abandonment and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning; it is often used for trauma symptoms, mood, and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. They use a collaborative process to try methods and adjust as needed rather than prescribing a single path from the start.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people continue care when mobility, health, or geographic distance would otherwise make regular meetings difficult. Confirm the available formats and scheduling details when you sign up so sessions match your needs.
