Paul Dearman

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a licenced professional counselor in Virginia and Connecticut, currently residing in New York. With over 8 years of experience working as a counselor and life coach, I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, substance concerns, family/relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and more specific diagnoses like autism-spectrum disorders and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced trauma or abuse.

My counseling style is laid back and tailored to the person I’m working with. I believe in unconditional positive regard, humor, and bringing out the potential that already exists within you. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and family-systems counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or managing life changes, remote therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.

One major benefit is flexibility – clients can choose the mode of connection that fits their life, whether that is video sessions, phone conversations, live chat, or ongoing in-app messaging. That flexibility often makes it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy schedule.

Therapists offering remote care are licensed professionals, and clients who want a different match can switch to another therapist at any time.
