About Edward
Edward Paquette is a licensed professional counselor with 27 years of experience who offers straightforward, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or big life changes. He focuses on problems that disrupt daily life, such as workplace strain, social anxiety, and compassion fatigue.
His approach centers on clear conversation and steady guidance so clients can make real changes one step at a time. Edward draws on evidence-based methods like cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems stuck.
Background and approach
He also uses existential ideas to help people consider meaning, values, and the choices that shape their lives. Sessions are goal-oriented and grounded in everyday concerns rather than abstract theory. In practice Edward helps with attachment and abandonment issues, communication difficulties, guilt and shame, and struggles with self-worth.
He also supports people facing midlife questions, men’s issues, and the search for life purpose. Conversations often include practical tools for coping and clearer ways to handle difficult emotions. Edward works with people in Connecticut and conducts sessions in English.
He offers multiple online formats, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Costs vary by location and are billed through a cancellable subscription model. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a session according to availability.
The focus is on building a collaborative relationship that helps each person move toward more ease and meaning in daily life.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Edward uses a mix of cognitive-behavioral techniques and existential approaches in online sessions. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage stress. Existential work invites people to clarify values and life choices, which can be helpful for those feeling stuck or questioning purpose.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Edward works collaboratively to match techniques to a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. He will review what’s working and adjust the plan as therapy progresses so the work feels relevant and achievable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a more in-depth session is preferred. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or being on camera is a concern. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, short skill practice, or when someone needs to fit support into a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain consistent work toward goals without major schedule disruption.
