About Edward

Edward Currier is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 19 years of experience. He works with adults who are carrying guilt or shame alongside stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, and other life challenges. He treats each person as the expert on their own story and builds from the strengths they already have.

He uses clear, direct conversation to help people sort through what they’re feeling and why. Sessions focus on practical steps and on noticing thoughts and patterns that keep guilt or shame active. Edward blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people shift how they respond to painful memories or self-judgment.

He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships and experiences shape current reactions. Motivational interviewing is used when someone is weighing change or working through ambivalence. Those approaches are chosen to match the person and the issue, not as a fixed recipe.

Work with him often involves short, focused experiments between sessions. That can mean trying new ways of talking to yourself, testing different behaviors, or practicing brief mindfulness exercises. Progress is tracked in simple terms so people can see what is changing.

Sessions are conversational but goal-oriented. Edward aims to make difficult topics easier to discuss and to help clients find clearer ways forward when guilt or shame gets in the way.

How his approaches translate to online work

Edward combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in ways that fit remote conversation. Client-centered therapy centers the person’s own perspective and priorities, and works through talk and reflection to clarify goals and next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy identifies patterns of thought and behavior and uses experiments to test alternatives and reduce unhelpful cycles. Mindfulness therapy uses short practices to increase present-moment awareness and to change how strong emotions are noticed rather than reacted to.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will collaborate with each client to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than insisting on a single method. That collaborative process includes reviewing what has helped in the past and what feels doable now.

Confirm the available session formats before booking because formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or reduce travel time. It can also let someone choose audio-only or video depending on bandwidth or comfort. Practical adjustments like brief between-session tasks and screen-shared worksheets can be used to keep sessions focused and actionable.
