About Jessica
Jessica Charbonneau is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and the aftermath of trauma. She works with adults who are coping with life changes and feeling worn down by caregiving or work demands. She aims to meet each person where they are and build practical ways forward together.
Jessica draws on 24 years of experience in mental health care. She centers the person’s own goals and strengths in sessions and helps clients notice unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Her style mixes straightforward talk with skills practice so people can try small changes between meetings. She uses a few evidence-based approaches to guide work in session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps by breaking down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Mindfulness practices teach simple attention skills for stress and anxiety. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people to clarify values and take steps toward a meaningful life. Jessica also attends to issues that come with aging, caregiving, end-of-life care, and the strain faced by first responders.
She addresses difficult feelings like guilt, shame, and grief, and practical problems such as workplace stress or money worries. Her work is collaborative and practical. Clients can expect direct conversation, clear takeaways, and gentle encouragement to try changes that fit their life.
Jessica offers support aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values, even when anxiety or difficult feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete tools to shift unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and create space for clearer choices.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they try methods that feel like the best fit and adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy is offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make sessions easier to fit into a busy life. Video sessions let people work face-to-face when that feels helpful. Phone sessions work well when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, clarifying homework, or keeping momentum between meetings.
