Bradley Charbonneau, LCSW

Bradley Charbonneau offers a calm, non-judgmental approach and uses evidence-based practices to help people manage social anxiety and panic in public places. As an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker, he guides clients through the negative thoughts they hold about themselves and the world, helping them build self-esteem and increase confidence. He combines practical skills training with thoughtful reflection so clients can face anxiety-provoking situations with more ease and feel a stronger sense of well-being.

In sessions he encourages exploration of patterns of thinking and behavior, then works with clients to develop realistic, achievable strategies for coping. His focus is on creating a supportive therapeutic relationship where progress is defined by clearer self-understanding, growing confidence, and improved day-to-day functioning. Bradley aims to help clients move from avoidance and fear toward greater participation in public life and a more resilient sense of self.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Bradley Charbonneau draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to tailor online work to each client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of thinking and behavior - it is commonly used to address anxiety, panic, and mood concerns by teaching practical coping strategies. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that helps people explore their own reasons for change and strengthen motivation, which can be especially useful for issues like addictions or ambivalence about life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Bradley will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so scheduling is easier and care can continue from different locations. These options support continuity, make it simpler to practice skills between sessions, and allow therapists and clients to focus on real-world goals in ways that fit everyday life.
