About Edward

Edward Currier is a licensed mental health counselor in New York who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and depression. He approaches therapy with a straightforward belief: clients know their stories best and have strengths to draw on. He aims to make starting therapy feel like a manageable first step rather than a leap.

His manner is supportive and practical for someone looking for clearer coping tools.

Background and approach

With 19 years of experience as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Edward blends several approaches to fit each person’s needs. He uses client-centered methods to listen and build on strengths. He applies cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

He also brings mindfulness and motivational techniques to help with focus and persistence. Edward has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns, including relationship and family stress, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, eating concerns, and mood disorders. He pays attention to issues like guilt, shame, impulsivity, and isolation so they can be addressed in concrete ways.

He also notes experience with personality-related issues and developmental differences. Sessions are offered in English and provided online in formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions based on availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy is about listening first and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person. It emphasizes empathy, respect, and building on each person’s existing strengths, which can feel especially useful when life feels overwhelming.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is practical and skill-based, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Choosing the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. Edward will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. Treatment plans can shift as progress is made or needs change so the person stays involved in decisions about care.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls approximate an in-person session, while phone sessions remove the need for video. Live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins and written reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care when life gets unpredictable.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
