Jayson Brunelle, LPC

Jayson Brunelle is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Connecticut who focuses on everyday thoughts and habits that affect mood and behavior. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, anger, and other life changes. He brings a decade of clinical experience to each meeting and aims to help people find clearer thinking and steadier routines.

Jayson combines practical talk therapy with attention to spiritual and philosophical concerns when clients want that included. He uses approaches drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and dialectical behavior strategies to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new ways of coping. Sessions often include goal setting, skill practice, and reflecting on personal values.

His background includes study in philosophy and Christian theology, and he has integrated pastoral perspectives alongside clinical methods in private practice. He also draws on Jungian and existential ideas when they fit a person's story. This blend is offered as a way to consider both everyday habits and deeper questions about meaning and purpose.

Jayson has worked in mental health and addiction counseling for over 10 years and has used 12-Step approaches with many clients who found them helpful. He describes his work as attending to the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - when clients want that focus.

People interested in starting are encouraged to consider how they want therapy to address routines, thinking patterns, or spiritual concerns. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session to see if the approach fits.

Approaches for online work and shifting daily habits

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and supporting a person's own goals; the therapist offers empathy and acceptance while people decide what changes matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and compulsive patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels most useful and then blend methods to match goals, preferences, and life circumstances. This is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use different methods to teach skills, review thought records, and practice new routines remotely, helping people apply changes directly to everyday life.
