Edna Booker , LPC

Edna Booker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing addiction, trauma, depression, bipolar concerns, anger, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She works with adults who struggle with sleep, self-esteem, career stress, and the effects of abuse or dissociation. Edna focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.

Her approach is warm and straightforward. She aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through without judgment. Sessions are conversational and task-focused when helpful, so people leave with clear ideas to try between meetings.

Edna draws on several methods that fit different needs. She uses client-centered techniques to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Cognitive behavioral tools help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness practices are added to ease intense feelings and improve sleep.

With 25 years in the field, Edna brings steady experience to the work. Her background includes supporting people dealing with addiction, domestic violence, caregiver stress, and family-of-origin wounds. She also has experience addressing abandonment, guilt and shame, and issues that can arise with aging.

Edna holds LPC licensure in Arizona and Wisconsin and practices from Louisiana. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. New people start by completing a short questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist mirrors concerns, helps people name their priorities, and supports change at a comfortable pace. This approach is useful for people who need a steady, acceptance-based space to sort feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can help with depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills helpful for intense emotions and relationship problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That process can include trying strategies from different approaches and adjusting as progress is made.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or hands-free communication is easier. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, short reflections, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use methods that match a person’s daily routine.
