Jayson Brunelle , LPC

Jayson Brunelle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut with ten years of experience in clinical mental health, addiction, and Christian pastoral counseling. He approaches care with an emphasis on the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - combining evidence-based methods with attention to spiritual and philosophical dimensions that many find meaningful in recovery and personal growth.

In private practice, he draws from an eclectic blend of therapeutic traditions, including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, and Gestalt approaches, to tailor treatment to each individual's needs. His background in philosophy and Christian theology informs a psycho-spiritual perspective that honors human dignity and the search for meaning, while also making space for practical strategies to address symptoms and patterns.

Jayson has long incorporated the 12-Step model of recovery into his work with people struggling with substance and process addictions, often finding it a valuable complement to other therapeutic techniques. He works with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, grief, anger, hoarding, communication problems, and a variety of addictive behaviors.

Known for integrating clinical skill with pastoral sensitivity, he supports clients in exploring life purpose, forgiveness, and self-worth while offering structured tools for coping, relapse prevention, and emotional regulation. As an LPC, he is trained to provide professional counseling aimed at helping individuals navigate complex life challenges and move toward healthier functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jayson Brunelle uses client-centered therapy to create an accepting, collaborative relationship in which the client's perspective guides the pace and focus of work. This approach helps people who benefit from empathy, validation, and a strengths-based partnership when confronting stress, grief, or self-esteem issues.

He also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT offers practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and many forms of obsessive or compulsive behavior by teaching skills that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jayson works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He integrates techniques as appropriate and adjusts the plan over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy with Jayson is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which increases flexibility for scheduling and lets people access support from home or other convenient locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or transitional periods while still working with licensed professionals who provide consistent clinical guidance.
