He focuses on addressing addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, LGBT matters, grief, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. His practice emphasizes clarity and collaboration as he and each client identify priorities and work toward practical steps that fit the client's situation.

He uses a mix of client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotionally-focused therapy to tailor sessions to the issues presented. Edgar creates an environment where thoughts and feelings can be expressed without fear of judgment, and he encourages honest reflection about patterns that maintain distress.

Online sessions using client-centered, CBT, and EFT



Edgar offers remote sessions that apply client-centered principles alongside cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused therapy. Client-centered work prioritizes the individual's perspective, allowing the client to guide topics while the therapist listens, reflects, and helps clarify concerns. This approach supports clients who want a collaborative space to explore their thoughts and priorities.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to identify and work with patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress, with practical tools for managing symptoms and testing new responses. Emotionally-focused therapy concentrates on understanding emotional responses and relationship patterns, paying attention to how feelings influence connection and interaction.

These methods are combined to create a collaborative fit between therapist and client, with sessions shaped by the presenting issues and the client's preferred pace. Remote appointments are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences.
