About Edward

Edward Paquette is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut with 27 years of experience. He offers a steady, respectful presence for people who are wrestling with stress, anxiety, grief, career questions, and big life changes. He emphasizes partnership in therapy and aims to help clients move toward greater ease and purpose.

Edward uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to look at how thoughts and actions interact. He also draws on existential perspectives to help people consider how their choices shape their life. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and clearer thinking, alongside deeper questions about meaning and direction.

His practice has included helping people manage compassion fatigue, workplace struggles, and social anxiety. He also supports those dealing with attachment wounds, feelings of abandonment, guilt and shame, and the loneliness that can come with midlife shifts. Edward pays attention to life purpose and self-acceptance as parts of recovery and growth.

In the room, he works to create a respectful space where people can talk frankly about what matters to them. Conversations often move between immediate coping strategies and longer-term reflection about values and goals. This mix helps people handle current problems while shaping a clearer path forward.

Edward offers therapy in English and works with adults who want to address personal and professional challenges. To begin, prospective clients use the website Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session based on availability.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Edward draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skill-focused, which can make it useful for addressing anxiety, stress, workplace issues, and social anxiety.

He also uses existential ideas to help clients look at meaning, choice, and life direction. This approach encourages people to consider values and purpose when facing midlife questions, grief, or feelings of isolation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Edward will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That discussion helps shape whether sessions emphasize skills, exploration, or a blend of both.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people meet with licensed professionals from different locations while keeping therapy tied to their real-life routines.
