Jayson Brunelle , LPC

Jayson Brunelle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut with 10 years of clinical experience in mental health, addiction, and Christian pastoral counseling. He works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, grief, anger, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions, and he frequently addresses co-morbidity, communication problems, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, panic attacks, personality disorders, phobias, hoarding, process addictions, and end-of-life issues.

Drawing on an academic background in philosophy and Christian theology, he blends evidence-based clinical methods with psycho-spiritual perspectives to treat the whole person - mind, body, and spirit. His practice incorporates a range of therapeutic frameworks, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Existential and Jungian approaches, alongside psychodynamic, person-centered, and gestalt influences. He also integrates the 12-Step model of recovery where appropriate, recognizing its value for many people working through addiction and relapse prevention.

Jayson emphasizes a respectful view of human dignity informed by theological reflection and classical philosophical anthropology, and he aims to help clients reconnect with meaning, virtue, and practical strategies for daily living. As an LPC he provides structured, goal-focused interventions as well as space for deeper exploration of values, purpose, and spiritual concerns. His approach seeks to combine practical tools with attention to the larger questions that shape a client’s life and recovery.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist supports the client's self-discovery and personal growth; it is useful for improving self-esteem, communication, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical skills for anxiety, depression, panic, and many mood or stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, and it is often helpful for clients struggling with intense emotions, impulsivity, or co-occurring mood and personality challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jayson collaborates with each person to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and values. He tailors interventions over time, combining strategies when helpful, and works with clients to set clear, achievable objectives while honoring deeper spiritual and existential concerns.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to engage in consistent care from home or other comfortable locations. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity when life changes occur, and access licensed professionals who can provide evidence-informed support and practical tools for recovery and well-being.
