Mindfulness and CBT-informed counseling for anxiety, depression, and the moments that feel like too much, so you leave each session with skills you can actually use.
Jason M. Leclair is a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 25 years of experience supporting individuals through anxiety, low mood, and the stretches of life that feel unmanageable. After a long career as a school counselor, he now works in clinical practice, helping clients build emotional regulation, resilience, and coping skills that hold up under pressure.
His approach blends mindfulness with cognitive behavioral (CBT) tools, turning proven techniques into simple, daily practices you can use long after the session ends. The goal isn't endless processing. It's steadier days and a clearer sense of what to do when things get loud.
Every person is different, but these are the areas I work in most closely.
Quieting racing thoughts, easing the physical grip of worry, and learning to face what you've been avoiding, one manageable step at a time.
Rebuilding momentum when everything feels flat or heavy, using behavioral activation and small wins to get traction back into your days.
Skills to recognize escalation early and bring intensity down, so big feelings stop running the show. This is the heart of the Steady Flame System.
Untangling recurring fights and patterns, improving communication, and finding a calmer way to be in the same room when tension runs high.
Working through trust, boundaries, and connection so your relationships feel less like a source of stress and more like a source of support.
Building a steadier sense of your own worth, quieting harsh self-talk, and setting goals that move you toward the person you want to become.
Finding your footing through big changes, new jobs, moves, loss, parenthood, with coping skills that keep stress from running the show.
A simple, self-guided way to reset when your own emotions start to spike. The Steady Flame System gives you four clear steps to steady yourself in the moment, before the flare takes over.
It's the same sequence we practice in session, built so you can run your own reset anytime, on your own, wherever you are.
Grounding tools and guided workbooks to use between sessions, or anytime you need a steady place to start.
Breathe in for 4 counts, hold for 4, breathe out for 4, hold for 4, then repeat. A fast way to calm your nervous system in the moment. Follow the circle below.
These tools are for education and self-awareness. They are not a diagnosis or a substitute for care from a qualified professional.
