About Edna

Edna Booker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing anger, addictions, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. She speaks plainly and listens closely to the concerns people bring. Her approach aims to make the first steps toward change easier to take.

She creates a calm space where clients can talk about painful experiences without judgment. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage strong feelings like anger and panic. She often combines present-focused tools with deeper reflection about life patterns.

With 25 years of experience, Edna blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive tools to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and mindfulness practices to reduce stress and improve focus.

Her work includes support for addiction, bipolar challenges, sleep problems, intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem concerns. She also addresses caregiver stress, family of origin issues, codependency, and responses to natural or human-caused disasters.

Edna is licensed as an LPC in Arizona and Wisconsin and works from Louisiana. She is able to work with people who are hearing impaired and accepts clients from outside the United States. To begin, clients use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person as they tell their story. It helps people feel heard and decide what changes matter most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to reduce symptoms like panic, depression, or anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers clear skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients take an active role in deciding which methods suit their needs and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It also lets people continue work when relocation or travel would otherwise interrupt progress. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and skill practice so the work stays practical and focused even when done remotely.
