About Jayson
Jayson Brunelle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut. He has spent ten years working in clinical mental health, addiction, and pastoral counseling. People often come to him for help with anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and hard life changes.
He blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive and behavioral tools to keep sessions grounded and practical. That means conversations focus on what matters to the person in front of him, while also teaching skills to manage symptoms day to day. Mindfulness and elements from dialectical approaches are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
Jayson also brings a broader philosophical and spiritual perspective into the work when clients want that. He draws on ideas from existential and Jungian thinking to help clients find meaning, values, and a clearer sense of purpose. He says this can be especially helpful for people wrestling with life direction, life purpose, or spiritual questions.
In addiction work he often integrates Twelve-Step principles alongside clinical methods, and he pays attention to how mood disorders and co-occurring problems interact. He commonly addresses issues such as panic, OCD tendencies, bipolar mood swings, hoarding, process addictions, and communication problems.
Sessions aim to treat the whole person - thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and, when relevant, spiritual concerns. People who prefer a therapist that mixes practical coping skills with reflective, person-focused conversation may find this approach a good fit.
How his approaches adapt to online work
Jayson combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) elements in ways that translate to online settings. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience and building a strong therapeutic relationship, which helps people feel heard and guided even when sessions are remote. CBT offers concrete tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and addiction challenges in day-to-day life. DBT contributes practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, helpful for mood swings, anger, and crises of impulse control.Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide what methods fit their goals, values, and current needs, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy schedules, such as making it easier to attend sessions without travel, allowing shorter check-ins, or reducing time away from work or family responsibilities. Licensed professionals can still teach coping skills, run behavioral experiments, and offer reflective conversation through remote sessions when those formats are supported.
