Jessica Charbonneau, LCSW

Jessica Charbonneau is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 24 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and life changes. Her focus includes compassion fatigue and related concerns that affect daily functioning.

Jessica starts by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them use their strengths to address current problems. Conversations are direct and practical, aimed at making small changes that add up.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She uses mindfulness and emotionally-focused ideas when they fit the situation. Sessions often include learning skills, trying new ways of thinking, and practicing choices outside of sessions.

Jessica has worked across settings that expose clinicians to a wide range of life circumstances and stressors. That background shapes a pragmatic focus on coping skills, managing mood, and setting realistic goals. She also attends to issues like caregiver strain, aging and geriatric questions, workplace stress, and money concerns.

People who choose her often want straightforward guidance on handling intense emotions and rebuilding routines. She supports practical steps for grief, end-of-life concerns, eating and food-related issues, and questions about life purpose. Speech is plain and sessions aim to leave clients with clear next steps.
