About Chonlada
Chonlada Jarukitisakul is a psychologist based in Rhode Island who helps people cope with anxiety, stress, depression, and eating or body image concerns. She speaks English and Thai and brings 13 years of clinical experience to sessions. Her approach aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for day-to-day life.
She focuses on understanding how relationships, culture, and identity shape feelings and behavior. Sessions often look at patterns in communication, attachment, and control that keep worries or low mood active.
Background and approach
She also addresses trauma, obsessions and compulsions, and the emotional fallout of immigration and multicultural stressors. Chonlada uses integrative, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor work to each person. That may include practices to notice thoughts and feelings, skills for managing intense emotions, and strategies to change unhelpful behavior.
The goal is clearer self-understanding and more workable coping tools. She draws on her training and long experience in clinical practice across Rhode Island and Massachusetts to offer steady, practical care. She pays attention to how shame, guilt, identity, and cultural context affect recovery.
Chonlada aims to create a collaborative space where people can try new ways of handling anxiety, depression, and relationship strains. For people dealing with obsessive thoughts, body image struggles, attachment wounds, or the stress of immigration, she blends practical skill building with thoughtful exploration. This helps people move from surviving to feeling more in control of daily life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Chonlada uses integrative, evidence-based techniques that combine skill training and reflective work. One approach emphasizes noticing and changing thought patterns and behaviors to reduce anxiety and compulsive habits; it helps with intrusive thoughts, OCD-type worries, and low mood. Another strand focuses on emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills to manage intense feelings and improve day-to-day coping in relationships and stress-related situations.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will talk about goals, past attempts, cultural context, and what feels most useful. Together they adapt techniques to match the person’s needs and preferences rather than applying a single fixed plan.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and interactive skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, written skills coaching, or ongoing support between longer visits. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family life while keeping the focus on progress and usable tools.
