About Edna
Edna Lerma helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or relationship and family struggles. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 15 years of experience. She speaks English and Spanish and works with clients who prefer either language.
Edna focuses on creating a calm, open space where people can talk through what worries them. She encourages straightforward conversation about feelings and daily challenges.
Background and approach
Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at small changes that add up over time. In sessions she listens first and helps people name what matters most to them. She works with concerns such as depression, panic and social anxiety, body image struggles, and issues around guilt or shame.
She also supports people coping with abandonment, control issues, impulsivity, and questions about life purpose. Edna often helps clients improve communication skills and manage conflict in relationships and family life. She offers strategies to build self-love, forgiveness, and healthier patterns of thinking.
Her style is collaborative - she and the client set goals together and check progress as they go. Starting therapy can feel hard. Edna aims to make that first step easier by meeting people where they are and helping them move forward at a realistic pace.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Edna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and improving coping skills. Cognitive-style approaches help people notice and adjust thinking patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, and self-criticism. Skills-focused work teaches practical tools for managing panic, stress, and overwhelming emotions.She also emphasizes interpersonal and communication work to improve relationships and reduce family conflict. This involves practicing clearer communication, setting boundaries, and building habits that support forgiveness and self-respect. These approaches are described and adjusted together, so the therapist and client decide what fits best for each situation.
Online therapy with her is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow fuller communication through face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when video isn't possible, and live chat or text messaging can fit into busy days or provide quick check-ins. These options make it simpler to schedule consistent sessions and keep momentum while working toward goals.
