About Jessica
Jessica Charbonneau is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 24 years of professional experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Jessica uses practical methods to address problems and focuses on clear, usable steps clients can try between sessions.
She works from approaches that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Mindfulness Therapy. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, try different responses, and practice skills that reduce distress. Therapy conversations tend to be structured and goal-oriented while leaving room to hear what matters most to the client.
Jessica emphasizes the client’s own knowledge of their life. She treats that knowledge as the basis for deciding next steps and for building on strengths. Practical tools, gentle experiments, and short exercises are commonly used so progress shows up in day-to-day life.
Her additional focus areas include caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, communication problems, eating and food-related issues, first responder issues, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and a range of mood and personality-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with life purpose questions and money or workplace stress.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients may be accepted. Jessica’s approach is straightforward and aimed at helping people make manageable changes that fit their daily routine.
How Jessica’s approaches translate to online work
Jessica commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in ways that fit structured online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which works well in short exercises and homework between meetings. ACT emphasizes noticing values and taking small committed steps toward them, which often shows up as practical goal-setting and short experiments.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to make room for what the client knows about their life, and on Mindfulness Therapy to help people develop present-moment awareness. Deciding which approach to emphasize is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions help them practice new skills in the settings where they live and work, while still meeting with a licensed professional for structured, goal-focused support.
