About Jayson

Jayson Brunelle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, mood disorders, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

He brings a decade of clinical experience to work that addresses both emotional difficulties such as depression, grief, anger, and self-esteem struggles and behavioral patterns including obsessions, compulsions, and a range of addictive problems. His practice also attends to complex presentations like bipolar disorder, personality disorders, panic, phobias, and comorbidity between conditions.

Jayson integrates evidence-informed methods with a thoughtful attention to meaning and values, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and dialectical approaches. He also incorporates existential and Jungian perspectives when useful, so therapy can address thought patterns, emotional regulation, and deeper questions of purpose and identity.

Jayson describes his work as treating the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - and often uses recovery-oriented tools such as the 12-Step model for those affected by substance or process addictions.

Clients seeking a therapist who combines clinical interventions with reflective, values-minded dialogue may find his approach well suited to addressing both practical symptom relief and longer-term personal growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jayson draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients examine and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, obsessions, and panic. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, offering empathic listening and collaboration to help people explore their feelings and priorities in a nonjudgmental way. When emotional regulation and distress tolerance are central concerns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are employed to teach practical tools for coping and interpersonal effectiveness.

Determining the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and the issues that matter most, then blends techniques from different models as appropriate so treatment fits the client's needs rather than forcing one single method.

Online therapy with Jayson is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and for meeting from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and allow licensed professionals to provide consistent therapeutic work across multiple formats.
