About Edward

Edward Church is a licensed LPCC who brings 30 years of experience to his counseling work. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, depression, relationship strain, and the effects of trauma. He also supports people dealing with grief, parenting stress, self-esteem issues, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and life transitions.

He creates a calm space where people can say what they think and feel without fear of judgment.

Background and approach

Sessions are built around listening first, then trying practical steps that fit each person's life. The goal is steady progress, not quick fixes. Edward uses approaches that center the person in the process and help them make concrete changes.

He combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques that help shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning when life feels confusing or empty. Across three decades he has worked with a wide range of concerns, including addiction, chronic illness, bereavement, and career stress.

That breadth helps him see patterns and suggest small, realistic adjustments that add up over time. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled online in formats that fit daily life. He describes starting therapy as a brave step and aims to support people through practical choices, clearer thinking, and steadier routines.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. In online sessions that means Edward spends time reflecting what matters to the client, helping them feel heard, and shaping the work around their goals and pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses simple exercises to notice thinking patterns and try new responses. Online work often includes short between-session practice, thought records, and brief behavior experiments that can fit into a busy week.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning and purpose when life feels uncertain. That work helps people clarify values and make choices that match how they want to live, and it translates well to conversation-based online sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Edward will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful and adjust as goals change. He aims to be flexible and to build a plan based on needs, preferences, and real-life demands.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and exercises that use visual materials. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging suit short updates, mood tracking, or brief coping reminders between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the work focused on practical change.
