M. works with stress, Anxiety, parenting issues and self esteem

M. lists 15 specialisms. Specialisms are the subjects M. chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.

02 · In M.'s own words

What M. says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

My name is Charlotte Rochon and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New York where I work with adults providing individual and group counseling services. My experience includes working with diverse client populations from all over the world. I have worked in a mental health facility, non-profit service organizations, and in school-based settings where I worked towards meeting the needs of people struggling with anxiety, depression, LGBTQ issues, trauma, parenting, and life transitions.

My approach to my work is informed by my professional training and experience. I use a strengths based approach to help uncover the inner expert that lies within each of us. My work is client-centered and I use solution-focused methods to bring about self-reflection and change. I strive to create a comfortable and non-judgemental space where a natural therapeutic relationship can develop as we work together to find balance and happiness.

I look forward to meeting you and working together towards your goals!

03 · How M. works

The 5 approaches M. lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods M. lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not M.'s - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how M. runs a session.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Reads present-day relationship difficulty through the lens of how safety and closeness were learned early on. The therapeutic relationship itself is treated as part of the work, because it is where the pattern tends to show up first.

Client-Centred TherapyPerson-centred · Rogerian

The therapist does not steer toward a technique or a diagnosis. They offer sustained, non-judgemental attention and reflect back what they hear, on the premise that people find their own direction when they are genuinely listened to. Often what people mean by “someone who just gets it”.

Mindfulness-Based TherapyMBCT

Trains attention on what is happening right now - body, breath, the thought as it arrives - so distress can be observed rather than automatically acted on. Strongest evidence is in preventing depression from recurring, and it is usually taught as a practice you keep doing outside the session.

Narrative Therapy

Treats the story you tell about your life as something that can be examined and retold rather than as the plain facts. Separates the person from the problem - “the anxiety” rather than “your anxiety” - to make room for the parts the current story leaves out.

Solution-Focused Brief TherapySFBT

Starts from where you want to end up rather than from how you got here. Sessions look for the times the problem is already smaller and work out what is different about those, so the number of sessions tends to be short and the work concrete.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

M. practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of M.'s own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking M. at this point.

2. Naming M. specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for M. is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to M..

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking M.

Built from what M. actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not M.'s - M. has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

M.'s name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met M.. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
