About Edward

Edward Larkin is a licensed psychologist based in Minnesota with nearly three decades of clinical experience. He offers a collaborative, person-focused approach to therapy that begins with understanding each client's goals and the life changes they want to make.

Background and approach

Edward emphasizes practical strategies for coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and a broad range of other concerns while attending to each person’s values and priorities. His work blends cognitive behavioral methods with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered listening, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness practices.

He brings particular experience in medical psychology, stress reduction, sustainable health, and coordinating behavioral and medical services when needed. Edward’s style is grounded in respect, compassion, and empathy, and he aims to help clients build realistic, sustainable skills for managing mood, relationships, addictive patterns, sleep problems, chronic illness, and workplace or caregiver stress.

As a licensed Minnesota psychologist (MN Psychologist LP3685) with 29 years of practice, he draws on a long professional background as a therapist, educator, health coach, and case manager to tailor treatment to each person’s needs and circumstances.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more effective patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) blends mindfulness with values-driven action, supporting people who want to reduce struggle with difficult feelings while committing to meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience and priorities, offering empathic listening and reflective feedback to help clarify goals and build self-directed solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is handled collaboratively. The therapist works with each client to explore which methods fit their needs, values, and goals, and adapts strategies over time so the work feels relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and preferences. These formats allow continuity of care for those balancing medical appointments, work, caregiving, or geographic constraints, and support a range of therapeutic activities from skills practice to reflective conversation.
