About Paul
Paul Dearman is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with eight years of clinical experience based in Connecticut. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and ADHD, among other areas. Sessions and work reflect a mix of practical talk and reflective exploration. He accepts international clients and works in English.
Paul describes a relaxed style that adapts to each person. He uses client-centered ideas alongside cognitive-behavioral and existential perspectives. Conversations often include mindfulness and reflection on personal meaning. He aims to make therapy straightforward and relevant to day-to-day life.
In sessions Paul listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating. He helps clients spot unhelpful thoughts, try small experiments, and practice new ways of coping. When people bring trauma or grief he balances practical coping skills with space to process what happened. For parenting and career concerns he breaks issues into clear steps clients can act on between meetings.
He also brings Jungian ideas about symbols and personal story into work for those who find meaning helpful. That can look like talking through recurring dreams, themes in relationships, or shifts in life purpose. Paul combines these perspectives to build plans that fit each client’s goals.

How Paul uses therapy approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. Sessions emphasize understanding a person’s perspective, building trust, and letting the client guide the pace and topics. This approach helps with low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and general life stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Paul uses CBT techniques to identify unhelpful thought patterns and set practical experiments to test new ways of thinking. That approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and managing strong emotions.
Existential Therapy helps people work through questions about meaning, choice, and life direction. It can be useful when coping with major life changes, career decisions, grief, or questions about purpose. In online sessions this can involve reflective dialogue and exercises aimed at clarifying values and commitments.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Paul will collaborate with clients to choose which approaches to try based on goals, preferences, and what feels effective in early sessions. That means plans can shift as progress and needs become clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Discussing preference for cameras, phone, or other arrangements can help match the format to everyday life.
