About Edna
Edna Booker is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of clinical experience. She practices in Louisiana and works with adults on concerns such as addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, anger, relationship and intimacy struggles, sleep problems, and self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Edna uses practical talk therapy to help people who keep putting others first or who get stuck in patterns around someone else's moods or drinking. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen without pushing a plan, and on CBT and DBT tools to build skills for managing strong emotions and changing unhelpful thinking. She also brings mindfulness and Jungian ideas into sessions when those approaches fit.
In a meeting with Edna, people can expect clear conversation about what feels unmanageable and small, doable steps to try between sessions. She helps clients practice boundary-setting, manage cravings or mood swings, and find ways to sleep and think more clearly. Work often focuses on present problems alongside patterns rooted in family of origin and abandonment concerns.
Her background includes long-term work with addiction and trauma, and experience supporting hearing-impaired clients. Edna describes the first session as a chance to map out priorities and agree on goals. If someone wants to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment through the service's booking flow.
Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How sessions work
How Edna uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and helping clients set their own goals. In practice this means the therapist asks about what matters most and reflects what she hears, so the client leads the priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is often used for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and managing mood swings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that help with intense feelings, anger, or impulsive behavior.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Edna will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That may mean using client-centered conversation one week and practicing CBT or DBT skills the next. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps.
The source biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to use mindfulness practices and worksheets between meetings. Ask about current session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling and practical details are clear.
