About Edward
Edward Paquette is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with 27 years of clinical experience. He works with stress, anxiety, grief, career concerns, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. People bring issues like guilt and shame, abandonment, attachment struggles, and difficulty with communication and forgiveness.
Edward uses clear, practical approaches in sessions. He draws on cognitive-behavioral work to notice thoughts and change unhelpful patterns. He also uses Existential ideas to look at meaning, choices, and how someone fits into their life. Conversations focus on what feels most pressing and useful in day-to-day life.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Edward helps people name what they are carrying and map small changes that can ease pressure at work or home. He also supports people working through loneliness, midlife questions, and struggles around self-value and social anxiety.
Over nearly three decades he has helped clients address career stress, workplace challenges, and compassion fatigue in caregiving roles. He pays attention to the practical steps someone can take between meetings. That can include simple behavioral experiments, communication practice, or reframing thoughts that fuel guilt.

How Edward’s approaches translate to online work
Edward blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with Existential thinking. Cognitive-behavioral work focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck, then testing small changes to shift stress and anxiety. Existential work looks at values, choices, and how a person wants to live, which can help when guilt, shame, or life purpose are central concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape session focus and any at-home practices or experiments between meetings.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Phone or video can be chosen for practical reasons such as lower bandwidth needs or preferring not to use video during a difficult moment.
