About Ednina

Ednina Welters is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois who combines evidence-based strategies with a person-centered stance to support clients facing a wide range of concerns.

Background and approach

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and aspects of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people examine patterns of thinking and behavior, build coping skills, and identify values that guide meaningful change. Her practice addresses issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, bipolar mood concerns, career transitions, and ADHD.

With 11 years of clinical experience, she integrates collaborative goal-setting and practical interventions to assist clients navigating trauma, family and communication challenges, self-esteem and body image struggles, and co-occurring conditions. Ednina emphasizes an accepting, caring therapeutic presence while offering structured techniques when clients need tools to manage intense emotions, improve relationships, or change unhelpful habits.

She works in English and provides sessions to clients in Illinois using a variety of remote formats to accommodate different preferences and schedules.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than getting stuck reacting to them. It is useful for anxiety, stress, life transitions, and helping people cope with persistent worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and skills training, which often helps with depression, anxiety, addictions, and mood regulation challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, making it a strong fit when intense emotions or relationship conflicts are central concerns.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting the plan as needs evolve so that interventions align with what the individual finds helpful and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility and accessibility for people with varied schedules or mobility needs. These formats allow for consistent skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and convenient access to care while maintaining a focus on the same evidence-based tools and collaborative work used in face-to-face therapy.
