About Edward
Edward Church is a licensed LPCC with 30 years of experience offering practical, down-to-earth therapy. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and grief. He also addresses relationship concerns, parenting questions, self-esteem, career issues, and life changes.
Edward works with people who identify as LGBT and those navigating bipolar disorder or ADHD. He practices in New Mexico and provides services in English. Edward prefers a straightforward, respectful approach in sessions.
Background and approach
He creates a calm space for clients to speak openly about what’s on their mind. Conversations aim to identify what’s most urgent and what small steps might help right away. He listens more than he talks and adapts his style to each person’s needs.
His work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address thinking patterns and practical behaviors. Elements of existential therapy help clients confront big life questions and find personal meaning when facing transitions or loss.
Over three decades of practice have included many different life challenges, from addiction and chronic illness to grief and family problems. He helps people focus on doable changes and clearer choices. Sessions are available in multiple formats including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a time. Subscriptions are used for sessions and can be canceled at any time. Edward is listed with the New Mexico LPCC credential NM LPCC CCMH0085761.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Edward uses client-centered therapy to make room for each person’s experience, focusing on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. That approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings and decisions.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT is useful for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and unhelpful habits by practicing different ways of thinking and behaving.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. Edward will work collaboratively to choose techniques that match a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. He adjusts methods over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives. Video calls can recreate a face-to-face feel, while phone sessions are a simple alternative when video isn’t possible. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily routines and to stay connected during life transitions.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Existential Therapy
Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
