Jessica Charbonneau is a New York licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 24 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and major life changes. She emphasizes each person’s strengths and supports clients as they take steps toward a more satisfying life.

Jessica listens in a direct and warm way. She treats people as the experts on their own stories and helps them find paths forward that feel realistic. Sessions aim to break down what feels overwhelming into manageable steps. The tone is practical and encouraging rather than overly clinical.

Her work draws on several practical methods. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and still move toward what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches tools to change unhelpful cycles. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s own goals and pace.

She also brings mindfulness and emotionally focused ideas into sessions to help with stress regulation and relationships to self and others. Jessica has helped people facing caregiver strain, workplace stress, grief, and issues around eating and food. The focus is on usable skills and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People who choose her can expect a collaborative approach that sets clear, practical goals. She will help you create small, achievable steps and revisit them as life changes. To begin, follow the site’s steps to match and schedule a session.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that line up with their values. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, life transitions, and when someone wants clearer direction on what matters to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress when people want concrete tools to try between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and pace, with the therapist offering empathy and support rather than directing the process. This can help when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to make sense of their experience.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in regularly and adjusting techniques as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about formats and scheduling to find an arrangement that suits daily routines and goals.
