01About Paul
Paul Dearman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical and coaching experience. He practices in Connecticut and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and challenges like ADHD and bipolar. He aims to create a calm, approachable space for people to talk about what's worrying them and to find clearer ways forward.
His style is relaxed and straightforward. He uses humor and steady support while focusing on each person's strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around what the client needs rather than a fixed formula, and he encourages practical steps that fit everyday life. In therapy he draws on client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. He also uses existential and Jungian perspectives to help clients make sense of life transitions and deeper personal meaning.
Mindfulness practices are offered when helpful for managing stress and sleep problems. Paul has helped people with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting frustrations, career decisions, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. He also brings experience addressing sleeping difficulties and anger management in conversation that stays focused on real-world solutions.
Paul supports clients who prefer video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. He works collaboratively to set goals and create a plan that fits daily routines and responsibilities.

04Online support
How therapy styles translate to online sessions
Paul blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own answers, which works well in conversation-based video or phone appointments. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns, a fit for short check-ins, homework, or chat-based checklists.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Paul will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. He adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most, so clients help shape whether sessions lean more toward reflection, skill building, or a mix of both.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and different preferences. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins or shorter meetings, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. Together these options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting into work, family, and other demands.
