About Ednina
Ednina Welters is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and substance concerns. She draws on practical therapy methods to help clients make small changes that add up.
Background and approach
Ednina writes plainly and aims to make sessions understandable and useful for everyday life. Her practice combines relationship-focused work with skills-based approaches.
She uses elements of the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns alongside cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are woven in to help people notice values and take meaningful steps toward them.
Ednina frames therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions focus on clear goals, simple tools, and steady progress rather than vague talk.
She helps clients identify what matters to them, practice new behaviors, and notice what changes in day-to-day life. She has 11 years of clinical experience in Illinois and works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Additional areas she addresses include communication problems, codependency, and caregiver stress. Ednina offers flexible session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time and costs vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
Therapy Approaches and How They Translate Online
Ednina integrates relationship-focused work with skills-based therapies to help clients make changes they can practice between sessions. The Gottman Method looks at how partners interact and helps identify patterns that fuel conflict and disconnection, which can be practiced in real time during sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing and shifting thoughts and behaviors that increase stress or depression and often includes simple homework to reinforce new habits.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful. Sessions often mix listening, skill teaching, and concrete exercises so clients leave with something to try before the next meeting.
Online formats make this kind of work easier to fit into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and live demonstrations of communication exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing coaching, brief reflections, and follow-up between full sessions, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs.
