About Edward

Edward Paquette is a Connecticut Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 27 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, career questions, compassion fatigue, and big life changes. He also addresses concerns like attachment and abandonment, workplace problems, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose.

In sessions he focuses on practical conversations. He listens to what feels stuck and helps people sort options. He uses straightforward tools to reduce anxiety and manage day-to-day stress. He also helps people process grief and the fallout of relationship strains.

Edward draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns of thought and try different behaviors. He also uses Existential ideas to talk about meaning, choices, and how those things shape a person’s direction. Those approaches are used to address both immediate problems and longer term questions about purpose or midlife shifts.

People meet him to work through guilt, shame, isolation, or difficulty communicating. He offers space to talk through forgiveness, self-regard, and the particular pressures many men face. He helps with career crossroads and the stress that comes with workplace conflict.

Sessions are practical and conversational. He encourages clear steps to test new ways of handling situations. To begin, people select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Edward uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. This approach is practical and often focuses on short-term strategies for anxiety, stress, and workplace issues.

He also draws on Existential therapy to discuss meaning, choice, and responsibility. Those conversations can help when someone is questioning life purpose, facing a midlife shift, or coping with major losses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Edward will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. He checks in about what is helping and adapts the plan as the work unfolds.

The site asks new clients to use the See online therapy options button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know how appointments are delivered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can work around work or family commitments.
