Edward Paquette, LPC

Edward Paquette is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut with 27 years of experience. He frames therapy as a partnership and aims to help people navigate major life questions and everyday struggles with respect and care.

He focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, career concerns, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Many people also seek help for issues like abandonment, attachment wounds, communication problems, and feelings of guilt or shame. Midlife crisis is listed among his areas of focus when clients are facing reevaluation or major transitions.

Edward uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people clarify values and make concrete changes. He draws on cognitive-behavioral approaches to identify unhelpful thought patterns and build more effective ways of coping. He also incorporates existential ideas to help clients reflect on purpose, choice, and meaning in their lives.

Sessions tend to center on clear goals, skill-building, and honest conversation. He works with people on workplace stress, social anxiety, loneliness, and issues around self-worth and forgiveness. The tone is direct but supportive, aimed at creating manageable, realistic steps forward.

Edward’s long experience includes guiding people through depression, anxiety, relationship strain, and career shifts. He encourages clients to name what matters, try new behaviors, and reassess progress as they go.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Edward describes his work using cognitive-behavioral techniques and existential perspectives. Cognitive-behavioral methods focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve coping in everyday situations. Existential approaches help people reflect on meaning, choices, and life purpose, which can be useful during midlife reevaluation and major transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Edward will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, habits, and comfort level. He checks in and adapts strategies as progress is made so the plan feels practical and relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow appointments during a lunch break, or enable shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use approaches like skill practice, thought records, and values work between sessions in ways that fit daily routines.
