About Edward

Edward Larkin is a Minnesota psychologist who aims to help people feel steadier when life becomes overwhelming. He introduces himself as Ted and keeps conversations straightforward and focused on what you want to accomplish. He works with concerns such as anxiety, stress, grief, panic disorder and panic attacks, and issues around self-esteem and life transitions.

Ted uses a client-centered approach that puts your goals first. He blends motivational techniques and cognitive-behavioral ideas to build practical steps you can use between sessions. Mindfulness and stress-reduction are part of his toolbox when people want ways to calm their bodies and minds.

He brings nearly three decades of experience in clinical work, education, health coaching, and case management. That background informs how he helps people coordinate medical, behavioral, and social services when those supports are relevant to care.

Sessions focus on clear, doable strategies and on tracking progress toward the goals you set together. Ted emphasizes respect, compassion, and empathy while helping people find workable solutions to daily challenges.

People choosing this approach can expect a mix of talking, practice exercises, and coaching on habits that support health and functioning. His style tends to be practical and steady, aimed at helping clients manage symptoms and improve how they cope with stress and life changes.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then move toward actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, panic, and life changes when someone wants practical ways to live differently despite uncomfortable feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. CBT is often applied to anxiety, panic attacks, sleep problems, and mood concerns through step-by-step techniques and homework practice.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and working at your pace. This approach supports people who need a steady, validating space while they sort out goals and next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and help you decide which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow consistent contact with a licensed professional when coordinating other medical or social services.
