Charlotte Lajoie, LMHC

Charlotte Lajoie is a Florida-based LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with 18 years of professional experience. Her clinical work began in a psychiatric hospital and in community mental health settings before she established a private practice, giving her a broad foundation across acute and community care.

She works with people from all walks of life and centers treatment on each person’s unique journey, tailoring conversation and interventions to meet specific needs. Drawing on modern understandings of the nervous system, mindfulness practices, and cognitive behavioral therapy, she supports clients in developing insight and gradual change. Charlotte’s specialties include relationship work, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and coaching. She also addresses related concerns such as abandonment and attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, first responder issues, and end-of-life counseling.

Charlotte approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and adapts treatment plans to each client’s goals and preferences. She acknowledges that beginning therapy takes courage and offers steady support as clients take that first step toward growth.

Applying therapeutic approaches to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages clients to clarify what matters most and take committed action toward those values while learning to accept uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It can be helpful for people facing life transitions, chronic stress, or patterns that get in the way of meaningful goals.

Attachment-Based Therapy examines early and current relational patterns to improve emotional bonds and interpersonal safety. This approach is useful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment-related struggles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and build practical coping skills. It is often used for anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and problem-focused goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Charlotte collaborates with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts her style as therapy progresses.

Online work via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into busy lives, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each person.
