About Edward
Edward Larkin is a licensed psychologist in Minnesota with nearly three decades of experience. He aims to help people sort through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and parenting concerns in straightforward, practical ways. He uses clear, respectful conversation to identify goals and small steps clients can try between sessions.
Edward often focuses on stress reduction, mindfulness, and sustainable health habits. He combines motivational and client-centered techniques with cognitive tools to help people change habits and manage difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions typically involve setting short-term goals and practicing skills that can be used at home. He also has interest and experience in medical psychology and in coordinating care across medical, behavioral, and social services when that is helpful. That can make therapy more useful for people juggling multiple providers or chronic health concerns.
He brings a calm, steady approach to complicated situations. Over his career he has worked in roles as a therapist, educator, health coach, and case manager, which influences his attention to practical planning and real-world supports. Edward is licensed as a Minnesota Psychologist, LP3685.
He offers services in English and works with a wide range of life challenges. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. He recommends beginning by clarifying what matters most to the client and then building a plan that fits daily life.
Remote approaches that focus on skills and values
Edward often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then pick actions that match their values. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where clarity about priorities helps guide choices.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches concrete ways to test and shift unhelpful thinking. CBT is practical for mood, panic, sleep problems, and many everyday struggles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Edward will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust methods based on the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps pick tools that fit day-to-day life.
Online therapy with him is offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make regular contact easier. These formats let sessions fit around school, work, and caregiving schedules and make it simpler to practice skills between meetings. Many people find the flexibility helps maintain progress when life is busy.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
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.
