About Ednina

Ednina Welters is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 11 years of clinical experience supporting adolescents, adults, and couples through a range of life challenges. She has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, substance use concerns, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and career or academic pressures, and she brings experience working with LGBTQ clients and those coping with PTSD.

Her approach is grounded in client-centered care that honors each person’s capacity for growth while offering structured tools to reduce distress. She integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and she draws on acceptance-based ideas to support values-driven change. Ednina also employs elements of reality-focused and belief-challenging therapies to help clients evaluate choices and develop more balanced ways of thinking.

She aims to create a respectful, culturally aware environment where counseling is collaborative and interactive. Clients work together with her to set achievable goals and to develop practical strategies for coping, adapting, and improving daily functioning. Ednina practices in Illinois and communicates in English, offering a combination of empathy, skill-based interventions, and goal-focused planning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Ednina Welters blends several evidence-informed approaches to support clients in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take action aligned with those values while learning to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings; it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's pace and perspective, which supports self-exploration and empowerment across relationship and identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for depression, anxiety, and coping with everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ednina works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of methods fits their goals, preferences, and needs. Sessions may begin with a focus on the client's priorities and then adapt techniques as progress is made.

Online therapy with a licensed professional provides flexibility to fit counseling into busy lives. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow for consistent support from different locations and at varying times, making it easier to maintain momentum and access help when it is needed most.
