About Ednina
Ednina Welters is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She takes a straightforward approach that helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and relationship challenges. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on clear goals and steady progress.
She blends acceptance and commitment techniques with cognitive behavioral tools. That combination helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice different responses, and move toward what matters most to them.
How Ednina works
Dialectical skills and elements of the Gottman Method are added when relationships and emotion regulation are central concerns. Ednina draws on eleven years of clinical experience in Illinois. She has worked with people facing depression, grief, bipolar concerns, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues.
She also supports those dealing with chronic health challenges, caregiver stress, body image, and problems with communication or commitment. In sessions she focuses on small, achievable steps. Clients learn skills to manage strong feelings, reduce addictive behaviors, and improve communication.
Conversations are practical and paced to match each person’s needs. Her work aims to help people regain stability and make clearer choices about relationships, work, and daily life. She invites clients to set goals together and to try out new ways of thinking and acting between sessions.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Ednina commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people clarify what truly matters to them and learn to act despite difficult thoughts or feelings. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.She treats choosing the right approach as a collaborative process. Together with each client she reviews goals, preferences, and which methods have felt helpful before. The plan can be adjusted over time so the approach matches the person and the issue at hand.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets therapists and clients use visual cues during relationship work or skills training. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging support short check-ins, practice between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while still focusing on meaningful change.
