About Ednina
Ednina Welters is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, and relationship concerns. She brings 11 years of counseling experience and a calm, practical style to sessions. Ednina aims to help clients feel more able to handle life’s difficult moments and improve everyday relationships.
Her work combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and elements of the Gottman Method. She uses straightforward techniques to change unhelpful thoughts, practice new coping skills, and clarify values people want to live by. Sessions emphasize practical steps and honest conversation rather than technical jargon.
Ednina supports people dealing with depression, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and challenges around career or life transitions. She also helps with body image, codependency, communication problems, and caregiver stress. Her background includes work with diverse cultural communities and individuals facing substance-related problems.
In therapy she keeps the process collaborative. Clients set achievable goals and explore choices that fit their lives. Ednina guides people toward clearer thinking, steadier emotion regulation, and improved day-to-day functioning.
She practices in Illinois and conducts sessions in English. To start, clients use the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing concrete skills to change thoughts and behaviors that cause distress. The Gottman Method offers structured tools for improving communication and repair in close relationships, useful when couples want clearer interaction skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, then suggest techniques and a plan. That collaboration helps tailor sessions to what is most useful rather than assuming one method fits everyone.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life and to keep continuity between sessions. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as specific formats were not specified in the biography. Many people appreciate online sessions because they reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let them use tools like worksheets or in-session skill practice from home. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and Gottman tools to work well in virtual visits while focusing on concrete skills and real-life application.
