About Edna
Edna Booker is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 25 years of experience. She practices in Louisiana and focuses on addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem. She also addresses career stress and other life stresses that affect daily functioning.
She uses clear, structured methods in sessions and often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also integrates client-centered listening, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, Jungian perspectives, and mindfulness practices as appropriate. Sessions are practical and task-focused rather than abstract.
Her approach begins by identifying the immediate problems a person wants to change. Then she helps set small, doable steps to test new responses and habits. Conversations include specific tools for mood regulation, coping with traumatic memories, managing substance use urges, and improving communication patterns.
Edna works to make the process collaborative. She asks direct questions, reviews progress often, and adjusts strategies when something isn’t helping. That makes it easier to see what is working and what needs a different tactic.
She has experience supporting people dealing with family of origin issues, codependency, caregiver stress, domestic violence aftermath, dissociation, and grief-related feelings like guilt and shame. Sessions can also support those with hearing impairment; language of contact is English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Edna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, then helps clients try alternate responses and track changes. CBT is useful for mood problems, sleep issues, addiction-related habits, and anxiety symptoms.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes attentive listening and reflecting what a person says so they can sort out their own priorities. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication in stressful moments.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, try approaches that fit the issue at hand, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist review progress and choose the next steps together.

Licensed professionals can use a mix of techniques online to practice skills, review homework, and monitor changes without promising any particular outcome.
