About Charlotte
Charlotte Lajoie is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 18 years of experience. She helps people facing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and big life changes. She also provides coaching to support practical steps forward.
Charlotte writes and talks plainly, and she aims to make the first step feel manageable. Her background includes work in a psychiatric hospital and community mental health before moving into independent practice. That range gave her exposure to crises, long-term needs, and hands-on care.
How Charlotte works
She draws on modern nervous-system research and mindfulness to help reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning. Charlotte uses clear, goal-focused techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also incorporates acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice values and commit to small, steady actions.
Attachment-based approaches guide work on trust, boundaries, and patterns that repeat in relationships. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person. Charlotte listens first, then suggests tools you can try between sessions.
She pays attention to practical problems like communication patterns, caregiving stress, chronic illness challenges, and issues around identity and body image. Her style is respectful, direct, and compassionate. She supports people through forgiveness work, grief and hospice concerns, impulse control, and the fallout of abandonment or separation.
Charlotte helps translate insight into real steps that fit everyday life.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then commit to actions that match their values. It is often used for stress, low mood, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current trust, closeness, and boundaries, helping people change repeating patterns in relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match goals, comfort level, and daily life. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most in real situations.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets people use facial cues and longer conversation, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while still using ACT and attachment-based tools in everyday life.
