About Jayson

Jayson Brunelle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with ten years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, anger, and life changes. He also addresses related concerns like low self-esteem, panic, and compulsive behaviors.

He blends evidence-based therapy with a faith-informed perspective. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation. Jayson draws from Client-Centered methods, cognitive-behavioral tools, and dialectical strategies to help people manage intense feelings and harmful patterns.

His background includes training in philosophy and Christian theology, and he integrates those perspectives when clients request a spiritual frame. He uses ideas from psychodynamic and Jungian thinking when they illuminate a client’s history or values. He also finds the 12-Step approach useful for people working on addiction and recovery.

Typical work in sessions includes identifying unhelpful thinking, building skills to tolerate strong emotions, and practicing new ways to respond when anger or cravings arise. He helps people sort out priorities and repair communication when resentment or frustration are getting in the way.

People who prefer explicit attention to moral or spiritual questions often find this approach helpful. He encourages clear goals, steady practice, and realistic changes rather than quick fixes. For first steps, he asks clients to describe the problem, recent efforts to cope, and what they hope to change.

How sessions work

Approaches used online and how they help

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping a person describe what matters most. It helps when anger stems from feeling misunderstood or disconnected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts that trigger intense feelings and teaches concrete steps to change reactions. It is useful for anger at work, persistent rumination, and unhelpful beliefs that fuel outbursts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, values, and day-to-day limits. Sessions may draw on skills from CBT or DBT while also honoring a client’s spiritual or philosophical commitments when requested.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins on a lunch break, or avoid commuting for appointments. Licensed professionals can use video or phone in ways that focus on practicing new reactions, running role-plays, and tracking progress between meetings.
