Isabelle Vachon , LCSW

Isabelle Vachon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of experience providing psychotherapy across a broad range of settings. She has supported people facing trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship and interpersonal challenges, career concerns, autism spectrum conditions, and ADHD, working with individuals from age 2 through 90-plus.

Her background includes individual therapy as well as school-based, couples, and family work, which informs a flexible approach tailored to different life stages and dynamics. Isabelle centers the person rather than a diagnosis, using a client-driven, solution-focused framework that invites the individual to define goals and priorities.

Her clinical work blends cognitive-behavioral strategies, humanistic influences, psychoeducation, and trauma-informed practices, with the balance of support and challenge adjusted to each person’s needs. She checks in about readiness for push or challenge and invites people to say when they primarily need listening.

Colleagues and those she works with would note a gentle, down-to-earth, and honest manner. Isabelle aims to offer a stable sounding board, encouraging strengths and collaborative problem solving to help people move forward in the ways that matter most to them.

Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored to needs

Isabelle integrates client-centered therapy, which focuses on the individual’s own experience and values, creating space for people to set goals and lead the pace of change. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem work, and exploring personal priorities.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is often helpful for anxiety, stress, mood difficulties, and managing specific symptoms. Additionally, mindfulness therapy is part of her toolbox, offering practical attention and breathing skills that support emotion regulation and grounding during times of overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Isabelle collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time so therapy stays relevant and effective for the individual.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for different schedules and life circumstances. These options make it easier to connect from varied locations and help maintain continuity of care, allowing licensed professionals and therapists to work together with clients in formats that suit daily life.
