About Paul

Paul Dearman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with eight years of practice. He works from a calm, down-to-earth stance and aims to help people find clearer direction when life feels stuck. Paul keeps sessions relaxed and focused on the person in front of him.

He values straightforward conversation, humor, and an attitude of acceptance. He often helps people notice strengths they already have and build on them. He has experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

He also helps with career questions, parenting strain, relationship and family matters, sleep difficulties, grief, anger, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges. His work draws on several approaches, including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, existential ideas, Jungian themes, and mindfulness. Paul adapts the way he works to match each person's needs rather than following a single script.

Paul is based in Connecticut and offers sessions in English. He sees international clients as well and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To get started, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a time that fits their needs.

Online support

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Existential Therapy looks at big life questions and personal meaning. It helps people face uncertainty, clarify values, and make choices that fit who they want to be. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and acceptance so people feel heard and can explore their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work. Paul will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend methods that fit. That process is collaborative and can change as needs do over time.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins, coaching-style support, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent with a busy life.
