About Edna
Edna Booker is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of clinical experience who focuses on a wide range of challenges including addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, intimacy-related difficulties, sleep problems, self-esteem, career issues, and bipolar disorder.
Background and approach
She also addresses related areas such as abandonment, caregiver stress, codependency, family-of-origin and family problems, communication difficulties, domestic violence, dissociation, and substance-related concerns. Edna is licensed as an LPC in both Arizona (AZ LPC LPC-17302) and Wisconsin (WI LPC 10974-125) and practices from Louisiana.
Her style emphasizes a collaborative, client-centered stance that aims to make conversations open and nonjudgmental. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other approaches to help clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior, and draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness-based techniques when emotion regulation and present-moment awareness are priorities.
Jungian perspectives inform deeper exploration of meaning when that is helpful to a person's goals. Edna welcomes English-speaking clients and accepts international clients.
She offers multiple session formats to fit different needs, and asks prospective clients to begin by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.
Integrating Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Edna blends approaches that emphasize both practical skills and personal insight. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for depression, anxiety, sleep issues, and addiction-related habits. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and preferences, offering a supportive environment where goals and pacing are driven by the individual. Dialectical Behavior Therapy brings concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when intense emotions or relationship difficulties are present.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Over time techniques may be combined or adjusted so that therapy remains practical and personally meaningful.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for different schedules and situations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into daily life, and they allow licensed professionals to use the same therapeutic approaches in ways that suit each client's preferences and routines.
