About Edward
Dr. Edward Suarez is a clinical psychologist with 20 years of experience. He practices from Hawaii and brings a practical, hands-on approach to common life stresses.
He often helps people facing anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and relationship concerns. He also works with those managing sleep problems, grief, career stress, and ADHD. He earned a doctoral degree from the University of Hawaii and has worked in varied settings, including training and consulting roles across regions such as Florida and time supporting U.S.
Background and approach
Peace Corps volunteers overseas. This background informs his attention to cultural context and life transitions. In sessions he starts with a broad assessment that looks at daily routines - sleep, exercise, diet, social connections - alongside the specific concern brought to therapy.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help people identify patterns and try new responses. The work is collaborative. He focuses on building rapport, listening carefully, and setting a client-driven plan.
Practical skills are emphasized - communication techniques, problem-solving steps, and strategies to manage impulsivity and anger. Many people move through their goals in a focused timeframe. Dr.
Suarez tracks progress with clear goals so clients can see change and decide when to step back. He aims to leave people with tools they can use on their own.

How CBT and Online Sessions Work Together
Dr. Suarez uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT involves setting clear goals, testing new skills, and practicing small changes between sessions; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress management.He also draws on mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing to help people stay focused and find motivation for change. Mindfulness helps people notice reactions without immediately acting on them, which can be useful for impulsivity and anger. Motivational interviewing helps clarify personal reasons to change and strengthens commitment.
Choosing an approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, daily routines, and goals, then suggest methods to try. Together they adjust strategies based on what works, keeping the plan practical and goal-oriented.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send notes or work through exercises between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, travel, or varied schedules.
