About Christa Jacaruso, CT LCSW 5929

“If you're successful on the outside but struggling on the inside, you're not alone. Many of the clients I work with are high-functioning professionals who have spent years managing anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, stress, or unhealthy patterns while continuing to meet the demands of work, family, and everyday life. They are ready for more than temporary relief—they're looking for meaningful, lasting change. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience, I provide individualized, evidence-based psychotherapy for adults throughout Connecticut, Florida, and Texas. My approach is collaborative, direct, compassionate, and tailored to your unique goals. I believe therapy should not only increase insight but also provide practical skills that help you create lasting change. My clinical expertise includes anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation, life transitions, stress and burnout, relationship difficulties, and recovery from both substance use and behavioral addictions. I have specialized training in the treatment of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug disorders, as well as gambling, compulsive shopping, problematic internet use, pornography addiction, and other compulsive behaviors. One of my professional passions is helping individuals recover from narcissistic relationships and emotional abuse. Whether you're trying to understand confusing relationship patterns, rebuild your self-esteem, establish healthy boundaries, or heal from manipulation and gaslighting, I provide a safe, supportive environment where recovery and personal growth are possible. My therapeutic approach integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Clinical Hypnotherapy, Art Therapy, mindfulness, and other evidence-based interventions to meet each client's individual needs. I have extensive experience helping people who experience intense emotions, long-standing interpersonal difficulties, or recurring patterns that have been difficult to change. I work best with motivated adults who are willing to actively participate in the therapeutic process. Together, we'll identify obstacles, build effective coping skills, and create a practical plan that supports your goals and helps you move toward a healthier, more balanced life. If you're looking for an experienced therapist who will challenge, support, and partner with you throughout your journey, I would be honored to help.”

Some issues Christa Jacaruso, CT LCSW 5929 can help you with:

Addictions

Addictions are chronic diseases of compulsive or uncontrollable behavior which may have adverse health effects. Addictions can include substance abuse (such as the abuse of opioids, alcohol, or prescription drugs) and certain non-drug related behaviors, such as gambling or video games. People with addictions may experience an uncontrollable urge to use substances or perform certain activities, although these behaviors may be harmful to themselves and others.

Those suffering with a substance abuse addiction are often unable to cease their behavior without some form of medical intervention. Studies have found that repeat use of certain drugs can figuratively rewire the brain, resulting in alterations to neural pathways associated with dopamine. This means that repeat drug users may become reliant on consuming the substance in order to function. For example, those with alcohol addiction ("alcoholism") become physically dependent on alcohol and may experience extreme withdrawal symptoms when avoiding alcohol entirely; in rare cases, medically unsupervised withdrawal can lead to death.

Behavioral addictions are similar to substance abuse addictions; however, people with behavioral addictions are addicted to a behavior or emotion associated with certain behaviors, as opposed to drugs. In addition to gambling, common behavioral addictions include food, video games, social media, shopping, and pornography addictions. When performing the activity, people experience euphoria (a rush of dopamine) that slowly lessens over time, meaning they build a tolerance and dependency on a behavior. For example, people who are addicted to shopping may need to purchase more items or spend more money to feel the same rush that once fueled their addiction.

Addictions can be assessed through a variety of means such as diagnostic screening, abuse assessment, or psychiatric evaluation. Treatment can help patients recover from their addictions and manage mental and physical health conditions related to their addiction. People with addictions may be treated in rehabilitative treatment facilities, hospitals, and other clinical settings.

Addiction treatment for substance abuse may include:

Detoxification (withdrawal from an addictive substance)
Pharmacotherapy (prescription medications), such as buprenorphine-naloxone (Suboxone), disulfiram, and naltrexone to ease withdrawal symptoms
Overdose treatment, such as the administration of naloxone (also known as Narcan)

Addiction treatments for both substance abuse and behavioral addictions may include:

Addiction therapy and psychiatric care, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
Prescription medicine for co-occurring psychiatric disorders
Twelve-step programs and support groups, such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Food Addicts Anonymous (FA)

Addiction treatment has expanded to include care for patient substance abuse in non-clinical settings. A number of community programs now provide at-risk substance users a safe place or means to use drugs and mobile doctor's services for drug-associated illnesses and injuries. Behavioral addictions are also gaining increased attention as researchers and mental health professionals seek to better understand and treat them. For example, some researchers are assessing the connections between video game addiction and childhood risk factors. More and more, mental health experts are recognizing the importance of meeting people with addictions where they are at, using more advanced treatments. Addiction treatment is intended to care for people with addictions with compassion and respect.
