About Edward
Edward Larkin is a Minnesota Psychologist (MN Psychologist LP3685) with 29 years of experience. He sees adults who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting strain, relationship problems, and related concerns. Ted’s work also covers addictions, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and issues tied to caregiving, chronic illness, and workplace stress.
He uses straightforward methods drawn from client-centered care, cognitive behavioral ideas, and motivational interviewing. Sessions often focus on practical steps and skills people can try between meetings. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy influence his work when clients want to reduce stress or build steady routines.
Ted aims to help people sort priorities and set realistic, short-term goals. He talks through decision points and helps clients notice patterns that get in the way. He can also assist with coordinating medical, behavioral, and social services when clients need that integration.
His style is solution-focused and grounded in respect for the person in front of him. Work may include skill building for sleep, coping with panic, managing cravings, or improving communication patterns. He also addresses feelings like guilt, shame, isolation, and low self-esteem.
Sessions are practical and paced to fit a person’s life. People looking for help with parenting stress, family tension, career strain, or midlife questioning may find his approach useful. Ted works with adults in Minnesota and conducts care in English.
How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then focus on chosen actions that matter to them. It can be useful for stress, grief, and when life changes make values feel unclear.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It usually involves tracking unhelpful thought patterns and practicing different behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, panic, or sleep problems.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so the person can clarify goals and make practical choices. Motivational interviewing is often layered in to support change when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about making a shift.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences, and adjust them over time based on what helps.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time so a session can occur between work or family commitments.
