About Edna
Edna Sanders is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience practicing in Indiana. She works with adults on common and complex concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, and anger. Her practice also addresses self-esteem, relationship and family issues, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, and career-related stress.
She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage emotions and daily challenges. Sessions focus on clear goals, learning skills, and changing patterns that keep problems alive. Clients learn techniques to reduce reactivity, improve communication, and rebuild trust in themselves.
Edna draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Mindfulness Therapy. That mix lets her work on thoughts, behaviors, emotional connection, and present-moment awareness. Treatment plans are grounded in what a person wants to change and the problems they bring to the room.
She pays attention to how background and culture shape emotional life and stress responses. That includes work with abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, multicultural concerns, and veteran-related matters. Practical communication skills and emotion regulation are frequent focuses.
Edna asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Edna commonly combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change feelings and behavior. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to reduce reactive responses and manage intense emotions.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy elements, which center the conversation on the person's goals and perspective. Figuring out which mix of approaches fits a person's situation is part of the early work. The therapist and client decide together what methods to emphasize based on needs, goals, and preferences.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Edna's work online will still focus on building skills for managing anger, improving communication, and learning mindfulness practices that can be used in everyday life.
