    About Edward

    Edward Larkin introduces himself simply as Ted. He focuses on helping people clarify what they hope to change and what they want their lives to look like. Sessions follow a respectful, compassionate tone and center on practical steps toward goals rather than long theory talks. Ted aims to make the work feel collaborative and straightforward for people under stress or facing big life shifts.

    Ted uses approaches drawn from client-centered work, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral ideas. He also brings mindfulness and acceptance and commitment therapy into sessions when those tools fit the person’s goals. That mix is meant to help with stress, anxiety, low mood, and trouble sleeping, as well as addictions and coping with illness.

    With 29 years of experience, Ted has worked as a therapist, educator, health coach, and case manager. He has an interest in medical psychology and in coordinating care when someone is also working with medical or social services. This background can help people who are juggling multiple providers or complex health concerns.

    Ted helps with a wide range of concerns including grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, workplace issues, caregiver stress, and conditions like bipolar disorder and ADHD. He also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, impulsivity, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.

    Ted is licensed as a Minnesota Psychologist, LP3685, and practices in Minnesota. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, clients use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

  2. How his approaches translate to online work

    Edward blends Motivational Interviewing with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change and on building motivation one step at a time. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and feelings, then act toward personal values despite difficult emotions. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, respect, and meeting each person where they are in the moment.

    Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Ted treats choosing methods as a team project. He will talk with the client about goals, try tools that fit, and adjust the plan based on what helps most in real life.

    The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy day. Online work can make it simpler to maintain regular check-ins, practice mindfulness between meetings, and use resources shared during sessions. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered, and then schedule times that fit your routine.
