About Edna

Edna Booker is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing low self-esteem and related concerns. She supports people coping with addictions, depression, anger, trauma and abuse, intimacy struggles, sleep problems, and career stress. Edna keeps language simple and focuses on small, practical steps that feel doable. She aims to make the first step less overwhelming and to offer steady support along the way.

Edna draws on 25 years of clinical experience and holds an LPC credential, with licensure in Arizona and Louisiana. Her style is warm and person-focused; she listens, asks clear questions, and helps clients set realistic goals. Sessions emphasize real-life skills people can use between appointments.

Her approach mixes talk and specific exercises. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. She also applies cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness practices and DBT-based skills are used to manage strong emotions and improve day-to-day coping.

People come to Edna for a wide range of issues beyond self-esteem, including bipolar disorder, relationship troubles, codependency, grief, and caregiver stress. She also works with survivors of domestic violence and those managing substance use concerns. Her background includes helping people navigate dissociation, family of origin problems, and feelings of emptiness or shame.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person's lead and creating a respectful space. It helps people clarify what matters most and make choices that fit their values and everyday life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits for anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) includes skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Those skills can be useful when anger, trauma reactions, or mood swings get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that match a person's goals, preferences, and current needs. Together they’ll try strategies in sessions and adjust what isn’t working.

This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy schedule, make check-ins easier during work breaks, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use mindfulness or CBT homework between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for a virtual setting so progress continues even when meeting remotely.
