About Edward
Edward Larkin is a psychologist based in Minnesota who helps people untangle stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, and life transitions. He uses a straightforward style and focuses on practical steps people can take now to feel steadier. Edward brings nearly three decades of experience to sessions and aims to make each visit useful and understandable.
He blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral ideas and motivational techniques. That means he starts by hearing your priorities, then works with you to try small changes that fit your life.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and acceptance strategies are often used to help with persistent worry, sleep trouble, or chronic stress. Edward has a long background in clinical work, education, health coaching, and case management. That mix helps when someone needs to coordinate medical, behavioral, or social services alongside therapy.
He describes his approach as respectful, compassionate, and solution-minded. Sessions emphasize clear goals and simple tools that people can use between visits. He supports people dealing with addictions, workplace strain, caregiver stress, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and relationship difficulties.
The focus is on finding manageable steps that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Edward holds the Minnesota Psychologist credential, MN Psychologist LP3685. He offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging so people can pick the format that fits their schedule and comfort.

Practical approaches for online parenting support
Edward often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT can be useful for managing parenting stress, anxiety, and low mood by clarifying values and taking small committed actions.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT offers concrete tools for sleep issues, panic, compulsive behaviors, and for changing unhelpful routines at home.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Edward will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try techniques that make sense for their life, and adjust plans as progress is made. He aims to match methods to what a person needs rather than push a single model.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit busy schedules. Video calls work well for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or people who prefer typing. These options help people access consistent care from different locations and routines.
