About Isabelle

Isabelle Vachon is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Maine who brings eight years of psychotherapy experience to her work.

Background and approach

She supports people coping with a wide range of concerns including relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, stress and anxiety, ADHD, intimacy-related issues, eating and body image struggles, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.

Her additional focus areas span adoption and foster care, attachment and abandonment issues, neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism, and a variety of relationship and communication problems. Her style centers on the client as the expert in their own life, blending practical problem-solving with an emphasis on personal strengths and preferences.

Isabelle integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, narrative methods, motivational interviewing, and client-centered principles to tailor support to each person’s needs. She balances feedback and validation, asking clients when they want encouragement, when they want challenge, and when they simply need to be heard.

Isabelle aims to make therapy approachable and collaborative, offering a straightforward, down-to-earth presence while helping clients set and pursue meaningful goals. She works with individuals across the lifespan and adapts interventions to the circumstances and priorities each person brings.

Practical approaches adapted for online care

Isabelle often draws on cognitive-behavioral therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be especially useful for anxiety, stress, and goal-oriented work. She also uses client-centered therapy, prioritizing the person’s own perspective and preferences so that sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and build on their strengths. Narrative therapy is another tool she employs to help people reframe difficult experiences and create more empowering personal stories.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the collaborative process. Isabelle works with clients to clarify goals, experiment with techniques, and adjust methods over time so the work aligns with each person’s needs and comfort level. She invites feedback about pacing, challenge, and support to shape a therapy plan together.

Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or geographic limitations. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a simpler option when video isn’t possible, and live chat or text-based messaging provide ongoing check-ins and shorter, more frequent contact. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and access care in ways that suit each client’s life.
