About Edward
Edward Larkin is a Minnesota psychologist with nearly three decades of practice. He goes by Ted and focuses on helping people with sleep and rest concerns alongside stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. He speaks plainly and aims to find practical steps clients can use each day.
Ted uses a client-centered style that emphasizes respect and compassion. He combines motivational techniques with cognitive-behavioral tools to build solutions that fit a person’s life. Mindfulness and stress-reduction strategies are woven into sessions to support better sleep and overall well-being.
He has a long interest in medical psychology and sustainable health. That means he can help coordinate any medical, behavioral, or social services a person is already receiving. This coordination can make care feel more connected and easier to manage.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable changes. Ted helps people identify hopes and practical steps toward them. He also addresses issues such as addictions, ADHD, chronic pain and illness, and workplace stress when these affect sleep and daily functioning.
With 29 years of experience as a MN Psychologist LP3685, he brings a steady presence and varied tools to the work. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking to make sure they match their needs.
Approaches for better sleep and daily coping
Edward often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports taking actions aligned with personal values. ACT can help when worry or rumination interferes with sleep. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replacing them with more effective ones. CBT techniques can include sleep hygiene, stimulus control, and changing worry-driven habits that disrupt rest. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and daily routines. That shared decision making helps tailor strategies for sleep, stress, or other concerns. Confirm the available session formats before booking as they are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises and CBT tools between sessions to support better sleep and overall functioning.Areas of expertise
