About Ednina
Ednina Welters is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 11 years of experience. She works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and grief, and patterns like codependency. She also supports people facing career shifts, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and family-related conflicts.
Ednina favors a person-centered way of working that treats the client as the expert on their life. She pairs that stance with practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and actions. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation.
Sessions tend to focus on identifying patterns that keep someone stuck and testing small changes in daily life. She helps people talk through their goals, try new ways of handling stress or cravings, and practice clearer communication in relationships. Work often includes setting realistic steps and tracking progress between meetings.
Her background includes supporting people affected by abuse and PTSD and working alongside those facing substance use challenges. She has experience with varied cultural backgrounds and with LGBTQ concerns.
Ednina uses straightforward language in sessions and aims for an interactive approach. Clients can expect to be invited to set concrete goals, try practical exercises, and revisit strategies until they fit the person’s everyday life.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches apply to online sessions
Ednina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck. CBT often involves short experiments, written exercises, and practical homework that translate well to remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clarify personal values and encourages committed action toward those values even when feelings are difficult. ACT tools can support people working through people-pleasing and codependent patterns by focusing on what matters most and small steps toward that life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ednina treats this as a collaborative process and will help figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and day-to-day life. She mixes tools and skills based on what the client reports and what proves useful over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten some check-ins, or avoid travel time. It also supports doing practical between-session tasks and communication practice in real-life settings without claiming a particular format here.
