Edward Church, LPCC

Edward Church is a licensed LPCC with 30 years of experience helping people through major life stresses. He focuses on practical ways to reduce anxiety, manage mood struggles, and address addiction and relationship strains. He aims to make the first step into therapy straightforward and supportive.

Edward uses clear, direct conversation to help people name what’s hardest for them. He listens without judgment and helps people sort through thoughts and emotions. Sessions are aimed at small, doable changes rather than big, rapid overhauls.

He often combines thought-focused work with person-centered conversation. That means looking at how thoughts affect behavior while also paying attention to personal values and goals. This blend can help with depression, grief, and coping with life changes.

Edward has worked across a range of concerns including stress, addictions, trauma and post-traumatic stress, parenting strain, and issues related to identity. He also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiving, end-of-life matters, and midlife transitions. His experience includes addressing co-occurring problems and complex life situations.

In sessions he helps people build routines, try new behaviors, and track what works. He encourages small experiments between meetings so progress is visible. The tone is practical, steady, and focused on what a person wants to change next.

How Edward blends talk therapy and practical tools online

Edward uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce distress. He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s experience and values. These approaches are commonly used for anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, grief, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach happens together. He will talk with the client about goals, what has helped or not helped before, and how they prefer to work. From there he tailors a plan that might mix thought-focused exercises, values clarification, and small behavior changes to try between sessions.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation and screen tools. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when shorter, more frequent contact fits a schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel commitments.
