Charlotte Lajoie , LMHC

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

She works with people from many backgrounds and honors each person’s individual journey, shaping conversation and treatment around the unique needs of the person in front of her. Drawing on modern understandings of the nervous system, mindfulness practices, and cognitive behavioral techniques, she supports insight and healing that fit each client’s pace and goals.

Her work includes couples and intimacy issues, anger management, codependency, questions of sexual identity and spirituality, and building self-esteem and confidence. She also addresses common life transitions and loss, and brings clinical experience with abandonment and attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication and control issues, divorce and separation, first responder challenges, forgiveness, gender dysphoria, guilt and shame, hoarding, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and impulsivity.

Charlotte integrates several evidence-informed approaches into her practice, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Existential Therapy. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring dialog and treatment plans to meet specific needs. Taking the first step to seek therapy often requires courage, and she acknowledges and supports that decision.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Fit for You?

People often wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and major life changes - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist using the format that works best for them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - making it easier to fit therapeutic work into a busy schedule.

Licensed professionals deliver care through these remote options, and people are free to switch therapists if they seek a different fit. For those weighing whether to try online therapy, the combination of accessibility and comparable effectiveness for many common concerns makes it a practical option to consider.
