About Edward

Edward Brock is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Edward keeps sessions simple and goal-focused so concerns can be addressed in ways that fit day-to-day life. His practice emphasizes clear communication and problem-solving.

He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people move toward the life they value. The Gottman Method plays a role when relationship patterns and communication need direct attention.

Edward uses attachment-based ideas to untangle patterns learned in close relationships. He helps people notice how old patterns show up now and teaches new ways of connecting and responding.

Sessions include skills practice, small behavioral experiments, and guided conversation. Clients often bring a mix of concerns such as grief, parenting strain, career stress, substance challenges, ADHD, or feelings of emptiness.

Edward aims to meet each person where they are and build a plan that fits their priorities and schedule. He works with straightforward language and steady pacing.

Expect focused goals, check-ins on progress, and practical tools to use between sessions. The approach is collaborative - Edward helps people choose strategies that feel doable and relevant to their life.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Edward often uses the Gottman Method to look at relationship patterns and communication habits. This approach focuses on practical ways to improve conversations and reduce repeated arguing. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, grief, and major life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Edward will talk with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and situation. He takes a collaborative stance and adjusts techniques as progress is reviewed together.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and skill practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows a brief check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to connect around work schedules, travel, or different time zones.
