About Edward

Edward Falsey is a licensed clinical social worker who draws on 25 years of practice to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

He blends cognitive behavioral techniques with attachment-informed and client-centered methods to create practical coping strategies and to explore how early experiences shape current patterns. Edward approaches therapy with steady, empathic attention and works to translate insight into concrete steps clients can use day to day.

Based in New York, Edward addresses a broad range of concerns including family and relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, LGBT issues, and substance use. He also brings focused attention to areas such as abandonment and attachment issues, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and difficulties arising from illness or major life transitions.

His work emphasizes collaborative goal-setting, improved communication, and building skills for emotional regulation. Clients can expect a respectful, individualized process that values both practical problem solving and deeper exploration.

Edward uses evidence-informed approaches such as CBT alongside mindfulness and hypnotherapy tools when appropriate, tailoring the plan to each person’s needs and readiness for change.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy



Edward uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of his work, focusing on patterns of relating that affect current relationships and helping individuals understand and shift those dynamics for healthier connections.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Edward will work with each client to assess goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, and then adapt methods such as CBT, attachment work, or client-centered techniques to fit the person’s needs and pace.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family, and other commitments. These formats support continuity of care and offer flexibility in how clients engage with therapeutic tools, from short check-ins to longer, skill-building sessions.
