About Edward
Edward Brock is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 12 years of clinical experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, and the effects of big life changes. His work also addresses addictions, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and issues connected to identity and attachment.
Edward takes a direct, practical approach in sessions. He uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to look at thoughts and values. He also draws on attachment-based ideas to notice how early relationships shape present patterns.
Sessions are conversational and focused. He helps people notice unhelpful patterns, experiment with different ways of responding, and practice skills between meetings. He can guide exercises that clarify what matters most and set small, doable steps toward those values.
Edward also brings dialectical behavior therapy and existential ideas into the work when they fit a person's needs. That can mean building emotion regulation skills, increasing distress tolerance, or talking about meaning and responsibility in life choices. He frames these techniques plainly and keeps the pace matched to each person.
People who come to him often want practical strategies as well as space to reflect. He supports those coping with abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family issues, career shifts, and the strain of caregiving. For someone carrying guilt or shame related to relationships, identity, or past choices, he focuses on clear steps and steady practice rather than abstract reassurance.
How Edward’s approaches translate to online work
Edward commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters and take small value-driven steps despite uncomfortable emotions. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and committing to actions that align with personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to trace how early relationship patterns affect current behavior and feelings; this approach helps people see and change interaction patterns that fuel shame or distance.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thought patterns that increase anxiety or self-criticism and to practice different, more helpful responses. These methods aim to be practical and skills-focused while also leaving room to consider meaning and relationships. Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, pace, and preferences rather than applying a single style automatically.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove commute time. It also lets people try different ways of working - for example more skills practice or brief coaching-style sessions - and then adjust as the work progresses.
