About Ednina
Ednina Welters uses a person-centered approach paired with practical therapy methods to help people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and substance concerns. She is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 11 years of experience. Ednina focuses on creating a calm, compassionate space where people can talk through what matters most right now.
She blends client-centered care with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques.
Background and approach
That combination helps people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and then try small changes that actually fit their life. Sessions are collaborative and aimed at clear, achievable steps. Ednina has experience addressing stress, addictions, anger, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar concerns, and ADHD among other issues.
She also works with people dealing with career transitions, intimacy-related concerns, and communication or commitment struggles. She adapts her methods to each person’s goals and circumstances. Her work includes attention to relationship patterns and practical skills from approaches like the Gottman Method and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when they are helpful.
That can mean learning emotion regulation skills, practicing better communication, or clarifying values to guide decisions. Ednina aims to make sessions straightforward and usable. She helps people set small goals, try new responses between sessions, and track what changes.
The focus is on building skills that reduce distress and improve daily functioning over time.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Ednina blends person-centered care with evidence-informed tools so online sessions feel focused and practical. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward a life that matters to them, especially when grappling with anxiety, depression, or major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can reduce distress from anxiety, mood problems, and some addiction patterns. The Gottman Method brings concrete communication and problem-solving techniques to relationship concerns, helping partners practice better interaction patterns.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Ednina treats that as a collaborative process - she will review your goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust as needed. That way the plan evolves based on what helps you make progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit real life. Video lets you work face-to-face for skill practice and conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you need a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing coaching, brief updates, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family demands.
