Background and approach

Her work covers grief, depression, self-esteem, addiction-related concerns, and challenges tied to relationships and parenting. She also supports people dealing with work burnout, compassion fatigue, and issues connected to aging and caregiving. Veterans and those with multicultural concerns are among the many areas she addresses.

Clients can expect a practical, collaborative style. The therapist listens first, then tailors exercises and conversations to each person’s needs. Progress is measured in concrete changes people can notice at home and work.

Edna holds an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - with credentials in Indiana and Virginia. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online in multiple formats. To begin, a short matching questionnaire connects someone to scheduling and subscription details.

How somatic and talk-based approaches work online

Somatic-informed work pays attention to how stress and trauma show up in the body. In online sessions this means noticing breathing, tension, and grounding during conversation and introducing gentle exercises to calm the nervous system. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities, letting conversations follow what matters most to the client while the therapist reflects and clarifies feelings and goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT often includes practical exercises between sessions to try new ways of thinking and behaving, which helps with anxiety, low mood, and coping with change. Edna will work together with each person to choose which methods fit best based on their goals, comfort, and daily life; finding the right mix is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and busy schedules. They also let people use short check-ins or longer video sessions depending on need, which supports steady progress over time.
