About Jayson
Jayson Brunelle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with ten years of clinical practice. He works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, grief, and major life changes. He also helps people facing mood disorders, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and problems tied to substance or process addiction.
Jayson uses a mix of practical talking therapy and reflective work. Sessions often look at current behaviors and the thoughts that keep them going. He draws on cognitive-behavioral tools to change unhelpful patterns and on client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on what matters to the person in front of him.
He also brings broader perspectives from dialectical behavior therapy, existential ideas, and Jungian approaches. That means some sessions explore values, meaning, and deeper life questions alongside concrete skills for managing emotions and impulses. He combines these angles rather than using only one method.
His background includes academic study in philosophy and Christian theology, and he integrates psycho-spiritual themes when clients raise those concerns. He has used aspects of 12-Step recovery work with people seeking help for addictions and finds it a useful option for those open to it.
People working with anger can expect direct strategies for managing intense feelings, techniques to reduce reactivity, and time to talk about beliefs that feed resentment. Sessions balance short-term coping skills and longer-term reflection about purpose, values, and behavioral change.
How Jayson’s approaches translate to online work
Jayson often draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in his practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping the person lead the conversation, which can help clarify what triggers anger and what matters most to change. CBT looks at the thoughts and habits that keep anger going and teaches practical ways to shift those patterns. DBT provides skills for tolerating intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions, useful when anger feels overwhelming.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to match methods to their goals, combining skills training, thought work, and values-based conversation as needed. That collaboration continues as progress is reviewed and plans are adjusted.
The exact session formats for his practice are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports using worksheets, skills coaching, and repeated practice between meetings to build new ways of responding to anger.
