Paul Dearman is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Connecticut with eight years of experience as a counselor and life coach. He has supported people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career difficulties, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and family conflicts, grief, sleep disturbances, parenting challenges, anger management, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
His approach to counseling is relaxed and individualized, adapting to each person rather than applying a single method to everyone. He emphasizes unconditional positive regard, a sense of humor where appropriate, and helping clients discover and use the strengths they already possess. Paul blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with humanistic, psychodynamic, and family-systems perspectives to shape conversations and treatment plans that fit each client’s needs.
He is licensed to practice in Connecticut as a professional counselor (CT LPC 003724) and draws on his experience as both a counselor and a life coach to help people navigate practical and personal challenges. Paul recognizes that seeking help takes courage, and he aims to support and empower those ready to take steps toward a more satisfying and balanced life.
He looks forward to working with individuals who are ready to begin that process and to help them move toward clearer goals and greater well-being.
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.
