About Edna
Edna Booker helps people facing addiction, trauma, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy struggles, sleep problems, and self-esteem concerns. She is an LPC with 25 years of clinical experience and is based in Louisiana. Her first aim is to listen and make space for what someone brings to a session.
She keeps conversations straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on identifying problems, building coping skills, and trying new ways of responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and change daily habits.
How Edna works
Mindfulness practices are introduced to reduce stress and improve focus. Edna also draws on client-centered principles to create a calm, nonjudgmental atmosphere. That means the client sets the pace and goals while the therapist offers support and guidance.
When emotions run high, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to manage strong feelings and stay grounded. She has worked with concerns such as bipolar symptoms, substance use, family of origin issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and domestic violence responses. She also offers understanding for people coping with grief, guilt, dissociation, or the effects of disasters.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. People meet by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a simple matching questionnaire is completed and then a session is scheduled based on the therapist's availability.

How these approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead to set goals and pace. It helps when someone needs a calm space to talk, to sort feelings, and to find what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT includes practical exercises and homework to change patterns that keep problems like depression, anxiety, or sleeping trouble going.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) introduces skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. DBT tools taught online can help people handle anger, impulsive behavior, and distress in day-to-day life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process helps find the best mix of techniques for each person.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make scheduling easier and offer flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skills work and check-ins. Phone sessions can be a good shorter option or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let someone check in between sessions or use text when a quick update or reflection is helpful.
