About Edi

Edi Peterson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and related concerns. Edi focuses on practical goals that match each person's values and daily life.

Edi uses straightforward, evidence-based methods to help people make changes. She encourages small, measurable steps so progress is easier to track. Conversations are collaborative and focused on real-world solutions rather than lengthy theory.

Her work covers a range of concerns including addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, communication problems, and isolation or loneliness.

Edi combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to match strategies to the problem at hand. She draws on many years of practice to tailor interventions to what a person actually needs to do differently.

People who work with Edi can expect clear goal-setting, regular review of progress, and adjustments as needed. Her approach emphasizes practical skills, motivation, and small changes that add up over time. She practices in New Jersey and conducts sessions in English.

How Edi’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Edi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and then practice different responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, anger, sleep, and mood concerns. Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a person's own reasons for change and can help with addictions, smoking or vaping cessation, and readiness to try new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Edi will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Decisions are collaborative and may shift as progress is reviewed.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people work with a licensed professional from their own region while using methods like CBT and Motivational Interviewing effectively.
