About Ednina
Ednina Welters practices with a foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, blending practical skills and collaborative exploration to address patterns that contribute to distress.
Background and approach
As an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), she draws on eleven years of clinical work to help people examine unhelpful thoughts, regulate emotions, and try new behaviors when facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship difficulties. Her approach centers on creating a compassionate, client-focused atmosphere where personal values and goals guide treatment.
She incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered techniques alongside behavioral strategies to support coping with trauma, grief, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and life transitions. Ednina also applies targeted methods for intimacy-related concerns, communication problems, and career or academic challenges.
Experienced in addressing a broad range of concerns including anger, self-esteem, attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress, she adapts interventions to each person’s situation. Located in Illinois, she offers therapy that emphasizes collaboration, practical problem solving, and the development of sustainable skills for more satisfying relationships and daily functioning.
Practical therapies online: evidence-based tools and flexibility
Ednina commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties; CBT emphasizes concrete skills and behavioral experiments that can be practiced between sessions. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values, accepting difficult internal experiences, and taking committed action toward meaningful goals, a useful approach for coping with stress, chronic pain, and life transitions.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be handled collaboratively. The therapist and client work together to determine which methods best match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy is offered through several formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase accessibility and fit therapy into busy lives. These options support continuity of care, make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, and allow therapy to be tailored to how a client prefers to communicate and practice new skills.
