About Edward

Edward Church is a licensed LPCC who draws on three decades of clinical experience to help people navigate stressful transitions and persistent emotional challenges.

Background and approach

He centers his work on practical, evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques to address anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors while also using client-centered and existential ideas to honor each person’s lived experience and values.

His practice covers a wide range of concerns such as relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and family dynamics, self-esteem, career issues, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. He also addresses additional areas like chronic illness and pain, end-of-life counseling, blended family issues, and substance-related problems.

Edward emphasizes a nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore thoughts and feelings openly while developing skills to cope and make meaningful change. Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and he aims to support each person through that first step and beyond.

He works collaboratively to clarify goals and build practical strategies tailored to an individual’s circumstances and priorities in New Mexico and with international clients who prefer remote formats.

Approach and Access: Therapy Methods and Online Sessions



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is practical and skill-focused, often applied to anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and collaboration so people can explore feelings and find their own solutions; this approach supports self-esteem and personal growth. Existential Therapy invites reflection on meaning, choice, and values, which can be helpful when facing life transitions, grief, or questions about purpose.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative decision. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, combining methods as needed to match each person’s situation and priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by providing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, access care from New Mexico or abroad, and maintain continuity when life or health circumstances make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver structured interventions, reflective conversations, and skill practice across different media.
