About M.

M. Charlotte Rochon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on practical, approachable therapy. She uses a strengths-based, client-centered style to help people sort through stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, depression, and life changes.

Her tone in sessions is calm and direct, and she aims to make conversations feel manageable for a worried parent reading on a phone. Rochon draws on 11 years of experience in mental health facilities, non-profit organizations, and school-based settings across New York.

Background and approach

She has provided both individual and group counseling and has worked with people facing trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, anger, and career questions. Her practice includes attention to LGBT issues as well as coaching-style support when goals are clearer. Her sessions emphasize identifying strengths and uncovering what already works for each person.

She uses solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable steps. Narrative approaches help clients make sense of difficult experiences and see different possibilities. Mindfulness and attachment-informed ideas are woven into her work to build more stability and clearer communication.

In practice that means simple exercises, focused conversation, and creating space to notice patterns. Rochon aims to be practical and respectful while helping clients move toward better day-to-day balance. She practices in New York and meets with people in English.

The first steps are straightforward: a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits the clients needs.

Online approaches that fit busy family life

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotions and behavior. In online sessions this approach helps people spot interaction habits and try different ways of connecting and communicating that reduce conflict and stress.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the clients own goals. The therapist offers reflective listening and gentle guidance so people can find their own answers and build confidence over time.

Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from painful stories and rewrite how they see difficult experiences. It is useful when past events or recurring narratives make it hard to move forward.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then recommend one or a mix of approaches. Together they check in and adjust methods as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around family schedules, reduce travel time, and keep momentum between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and check-ins to work well across these different communication methods.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
