Edward Falsey, LCSW

Edward Falsey is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience delivering practical, down-to-earth therapy. He focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, grief, and relationship strain. Edward uses clear, workaday language so parents and busy adults can understand the steps he suggests.

He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-informed ideas to help people change unhelpful thoughts and improve how they relate to others. Sessions are collaborative and focused on real-life problems like communication breakdowns, codependency, and caregiver stress. Edward also uses client-centered listening to make space for each person’s story.

In sessions he helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and then tries out different ways to respond. That can mean practical behavior experiments, mindful breathing or short guided imagery exercises. He explains tools plainly and practices them together rather than just describing them.

Edward has worked across a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, family of origin issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and addiction recovery. He also helps with aging and geriatric issues, cancer-related stress, and the particular strains that come from blended families.

People meet him in New York for a straightforward style that balances problem-solving with emotional understanding. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexible care. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Edward draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT sessions often include short exercises and homework that fit well into phone or video work. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current trust and closeness, which can be discussed and practiced in conversation-based sessions. He also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and understood.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Edward will talk through goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, then adjust methods as needed. That collaborative process helps decide whether more skills-based CBT, relational attachment work, or a listening-focused approach is the right fit for a particular concern.

Online therapy offers practical advantages for many people. Video calls are useful for full conversation and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people keep momentum between sessions and fit therapy into a busy day. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity while managing work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
