Edward Larkin

Edward Larkin is a Minnesota Psychologist (MN Psychologist LP3685) with 29 years of clinical experience. He helps people who feel stuck by addressing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and problems with self-esteem. He also works with issues like addiction, sleep problems, parenting strain, career uncertainty, and life purpose questions.

Ted uses direct, practical methods in sessions. He draws on client-centered conversation to hear what matters most. He mixes cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Motivational interviewing is used to clarify motivation and encourage small steps.

Mindfulness and stress-reduction are part of his work when people want tools to calm their reactions. He also has an interest in medical psychology and can help coordinate behavioral care with medical services. That makes his approach useful for people managing chronic illness, pain, or multiple health concerns.

Sessions focus on identifying goals, testing short-term changes, and tracking what helps. Many conversations look at how patterns at work and home affect mood and decisions. Ted often breaks larger problems into small, manageable tasks that fit a person’s day.

He aims to be straightforward about options and next steps. If someone is unsure where to begin, he helps narrow choices and sets small experiments to see what works. This practical emphasis helps people who are asking what comes next after a change or who feel directionless.

How his approaches translate to online work

Edward uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take committed, practical steps toward those values. ACT often involves simple behavioral experiments and values clarification, which can be done through conversation and short exercises between sessions.

He also uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-Centered work focuses on listening and clarifying goals, while CBT targets specific thoughts and behaviors with structured practice. These approaches are useful for stress, anxiety, mood, and life changes because they mix reflective conversation with hands-on tools.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will help decide which methods suit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is tracked.

The original biography does not list specific remote formats, so confirm which session options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue coordination with medical or social services without needing extra visits.
