About Edna

Edna Booker is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience who helps people facing addiction, trauma, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns. She welcomes conversations about sleep problems, self-esteem, career strain, and bipolar symptoms. Her style is straightforward and empathetic, with an emphasis on listening first and building trust.

In sessions she encourages clients to speak freely about what is hardest to say. Edna creates a calm space for people to notice patterns and try small changes.

Background and approach

She uses practical tools to manage intense emotions and to break cycles that keep problems stuck. Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to center the person’s experience and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation skills and Systemic Therapy to look at how relationships affect problems.

Edna has worked across a wide range of concerns including substance use, domestic violence, family-of-origin issues, codependency, dissociation, and caregiver stress. She also supports people coping with grief, guilt, shame, and the emotional effects of disasters. She holds an LPC credential and maintains practice in Louisiana while also holding licensure in Arizona.

Online support

How Edna’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and on empathic listening. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist reflect what someone says and support their self-directed goals, which can help with issues like self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thought and behavior. In an online setting CBT uses structured conversations and homework assignments to tackle depression, anxiety, sleeping problems, and mood swings in a step-by-step way.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. These skills are taught in short, teachable segments that work well over video or phone and can be practiced between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. Clients are invited to voice preferences so the plan matches their needs and pace.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access. Video calls are useful for full sessions that include visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, skills coaching, and ongoing encouragement between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
