About Charlotte
Charlotte Lajoie is a Florida LMHC with 18 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are facing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Her work also includes coaching around communication, attachment concerns, and other stressors that affect day-to-day life.
She began her career in a psychiatric hospital and in community mental health before opening a private practice. That early work gave her a lot of direct experience with crisis care and ongoing outpatient support. Over time she incorporated mindfulness and nervous system-informed ideas into sessions alongside cognitive behavioral strategies.
In sessions she uses straightforward tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. She also draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered methods to help people look at patterns in relationships and how those patterns affect current feelings and behavior.
People can expect conversations that focus on practical steps and insight. She works with issues including intimacy, codependency, anger management, sexual identity, body image, and coping during life transitions. First responder stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns are also listed areas of focus.
Charlotte frames therapy as collaborative work. She offers ways to practice new skills between sessions and to notice how thoughts, feelings, and bodily responses connect. The aim is clearer decision-making and better everyday functioning rather than quick fixes.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thinking and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for worry about performance in social situations and when avoidance patterns limit life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on changing thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and homework. It often helps with anxiety, self-esteem issues, and breaking cycles of avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in relationships and how they influence current interactions and trust. It can help people who struggle with abandonment fears or repeating difficult relationship dynamics.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and what comes up in early sessions. That choice can shift as needs change, and techniques from more than one approach are often combined.
Confirm the exact session formats when booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people try strategies in real life between meetings and bring concrete examples back to sessions for discussion.
