About Edna

Edna Booker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience. She is licensed in Arizona and Louisiana and works with adults who are dealing with issues such as addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship concerns, sleep problems, and self-esteem struggles.

Her style is straightforward and person-focused. She helps people name what is happening, notice patterns, and try practical ways to respond differently. Sessions are conversational and aim to make difficult feelings easier to talk about. She also uses evidence-based tools when they fit the concern at hand.

Edna combines several clinical approaches to match what a person needs. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and clarify what matters most to the client. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices are used when emotion regulation or strong feelings are a central problem.

Beyond those methods, she also integrates ideas from Jungian therapy to attend to personal meaning and patterns that repeat across a life. Her work often focuses on practical changes you can try between sessions, like behavioral experiments, grounding practices for intense moments, and communication skills for tense conversations.

People seeking help for anger, past trauma, relationship strain, or substance struggles will find sessions that aim to be clear and pragmatic. To begin, clients follow the site's matching process and schedule a first appointment through the listed steps.

How sessions work

Approaches used and what online sessions involve

Edna commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and clarifying what matters most to the client, helping people speak openly about feelings and decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and it offers step-by-step exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness techniques when intense emotions or anger regulation are central concerns. DBT skills teach concrete tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication. Mindfulness practices help people notice sensations and thoughts in the moment without immediately reacting.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to identify goals and try methods that fit those goals. If a technique does not feel helpful, adjustments are made together so the work remains focused and practical.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove the need to travel to an office. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep continuity of care and maintain regular practice between in-person visits.
