About Edna
Edna Booker is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience. She helps people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, bipolar concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and career stress. She also supports those coping with codependency and related family of origin issues.
Her approach is straightforward and focused on what matters to the client. She aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Sessions emphasize listening, practical steps, and tools people can use between meetings.
Edna blends several therapeutic methods to match each person's needs. She uses client-centered techniques to follow what the client brings into the room and to build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with workable alternatives.
She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and coping, and uses mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness. Jungian ideas may be used when exploring themes, meaning, or long-standing patterns that show up in a person’s life.
Edna holds an LPC credential and is licensed in multiple states. She supports people who want to take practical steps toward change and healing. The work tends to be collaborative, with clear goals and real-world strategies to try between sessions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the client brings to sessions, which helps build rapport and identify immediate priorities. This approach supports people who need an accepting space to talk through relationship, grief, or codependency concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical method that breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors, which can help with depression, anxiety, sleep issues, and mood swings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. It includes techniques for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication that are useful for anger, self-harm urges, and relationship turmoil.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods based on their goals, preferences, and what is moving them forward. That joint decision helps keep sessions relevant and practical.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allowing people to meet without travel and to schedule appointments around work or caregiving responsibilities. Some clients prefer formats that use less bandwidth or shorter check-ins when their time is limited. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to find the best fit.
