About Ednina
Ednina Welters is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who blends practical, evidence-informed methods with a warm, person-centered stance. She focuses on common stresses like anxiety, depression, relationship strain, substance use concerns, and phobias. Her style is straightforward and collaborative, aimed at helping people take manageable steps forward.
Ednina draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help clients clarify values and take committed action, and she weaves in client-centered listening so people feel heard while they make changes.
Background and approach
Many sessions emphasize skills you can use right away. That can mean practicing coping strategies for intense emotions, building communication skills for relationships, or making a plan to manage cravings and relapse risks. She also works with trauma, grief, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Ednina has worked in counseling for 11 years and brings experience supporting adults and adolescents through life transitions and tough episodes. She aims to make therapy practical, so clients leave with clear steps they can try between sessions. People who choose her often want a mix of listening and hands-on skill building.
Her approach focuses on small, steady changes that add up to better daily functioning and more satisfying relationships.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Ednina often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify what matters most to them and take small actions that match their values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or depression and practicing new behaviors and coping skills to change those patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ednina works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as progress unfolds. Clients and therapist check in together to see what helps and what needs to change in the plan.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and skill practice, phone sessions work well when internet is limited or you prefer no camera, live chat is handy for shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets you share updates or get brief support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try approaches consistently.
