About Edna
Edna Booker is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience. She focuses on concerns like anger, addictions, trauma, depression, relationship struggles, bipolar symptoms, sleep problems, and low self-esteem. She aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is uncertain or worried.
She creates a direct, accepting space where people can talk through upsetting thoughts and hard emotions. Sessions are conversational and practical. She listens first, then helps set clear goals and small steps to change unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Edna draws on client-centered work to keep the pace set by the person in therapy. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Mindfulness and dialectical strategies help with emotional regulation and coping in the moment.
Her experience includes addressing trauma, substance-related struggles, codependency, grief and shame, and family of origin issues. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, aging concerns, and communication problems. She is comfortable working with clients who are hearing impaired.
Edna is licensed as an LPC in Arizona and Wisconsin and practices from Louisiana. She encourages practical plans that fit daily life, such as tools for managing anger or routines that improve sleep. Her style is steady, realistic, and focused on what will help now.
To begin, she asks people to share current concerns and priorities. From there she and the person shape an approach that targets their main problems and goals.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and aligning therapy with the person's own goals. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to talk through emotions and decide what change looks like for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anger, depression, and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Edna will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs and goals. She often blends approaches and adjusts techniques over time based on what is helping and what isn’t, so treatment evolves with progress and preferences.
Online formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills work and check-ins. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, coping tools between sessions, or when people prefer written communication. These options expand flexibility while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
