About Edward
Edward Gorch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 26 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, and family-related concerns.

Edward helps people untangle persistent feelings like guilt, shame, isolation, and low self-worth. He also addresses workplace problems, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose. He describes his work as straightforward and focused on what people can do between sessions.

He supports people learning new coping skills and ways of thinking that reduce distress.
In sessions he encourages clear goals and small, manageable steps. Conversations often include practical strategies for stress and anger, experiments to shift anxious thinking, and exercises to build self-compassion. Progress is tracked in concrete ways that connect to everyday life responsibilities.

BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Edward uses evidence-based techniques and a trauma-informed lens. Cognitive-style approaches focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns that feed anxiety and depression. These methods teach practical ways to notice automatic thoughts and test them with real-world experiments to reduce worry and low mood.He also uses emotion-focused and trauma-aware strategies that help people name and regulate strong feelings such as anger, shame, and grief. This work often includes learning calming skills, practicing tolerating distress, and examining how past events influence current relationships and behavior.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and daily responsibilities and then try methods that fit those needs. Decisions about pacing and techniques are collaborative and adjusted over time based on what is helpful.
