About Edward
Edward Paquette is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 27 years of clinical experience. He approaches therapy as a partnership and aims to help people move through stress, anxiety, grief, workplace strain, and other life changes. He seeks to make sessions feel respectful and grounded so people can begin to make clear choices about their next steps.
Edward draws on practical, evidence-based approaches that focus on current problems and daily habits. He uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck. He also uses existential ideas to help people reflect on meaning, values, and how choices shape a life.
Many people come to him for help with career questions, coping with transitions, or compassion fatigue related to demanding roles. He also addresses issues such as attachment and abandonment, communication problems, guilt and shame, and social anxiety. Sessions typically aim to clarify goals and build small, manageable steps toward them.
Edward works with people who want to reduce emotional pain and improve functioning at work and in life. He emphasizes practical tools while also making space for deeper reflection about purpose and relationships. His approach combines short-term problem solving with exploration of what matters most to each person.
He practices in Connecticut and conducts therapy in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on his availability. Fees vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be canceled at any time.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Edward uses evidence-based techniques that focus on thoughts, behaviors, and life meaning. Cognitive-behavioral methods help people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits that increase anxiety or interfere with work performance. This approach is practical and often centers on simple exercises and small behavior changes to improve daily functioning.He also draws on existential ideas to help people consider their values, purpose, and how choices shape life direction. Those conversations often address career meaning, midlife questions, and how to move forward after loss or major change. Existential work pairs well with skills-based practice when people want both clarity and concrete change.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Edward will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus more on thought and behavior change, on exploring life purpose, or on a blend of both.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, remote work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins that keep momentum between major sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and reflection work for remote settings to support progress over time.
