About Edna

Edna Booker, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of practice. She holds LPC licenses in Arizona and Wisconsin and is based in Louisiana. She works on addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, sleeping problems, self-esteem, and career concerns in straightforward, client-centered terms.

Booker uses talking, skill practice, and reflective listening to help people manage immediate problems. She emphasizes practical steps for coping with strong emotions and for reducing harmful behaviors. Sessions move at a steady, clear pace and focus on what a person wants to change.

Her background includes long experience supporting people with substance use and trauma-related problems. She also addresses family-of-origin issues, codependency, caregiver stress, and grief-related topics such as abandonment and forgiveness. She notes work with dissociation and domestic violence among her focus areas.

Therapeutic methods include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Jungian Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. These approaches are used to identify patterns, build coping skills, and explore personal meaning when useful.

Sessions are conducted in English, and she accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says. It helps people feel heard and clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms and solve problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skill training for emotion regulation with strategies for handling intense moods and improving communication.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they adjust methods and pace as needs become clearer during early sessions.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered. Confirm current session options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins that focus on skills practice or brief progress updates. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises such as CBT worksheets, DBT skill coaching, and mindfulness practices to remote sessions to keep work productive and focused.
