About Ednina

Ednina Welters is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 11 years of experience supporting adolescents, adults, and couples through a wide range of life challenges. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, intimacy-related issues, career transitions, and other changes that can disrupt daily life. Her background includes work with members of the LGBTQ community and with individuals coping with PTSD.

Her approach centers on the person - honoring each individual’s capacity for growth while combining practical, evidence-informed methods to reduce distress. She integrates client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and aspects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients identify goals, shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and develop skills for managing emotions and behavior. Sessions emphasize collaboration, realistic goal-setting, and building coping strategies that align with a client’s values and daily needs.

Ednina aims to create an accepting and culturally aware environment where people can explore choices, strengthen communication, and work toward more manageable, satisfying lives. As an LCPC she holds a professional license to provide therapeutic services in Illinois and brings a practical, empathetic style to each therapeutic relationship.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate behavior, while helping people identify their core values and commit to small, meaningful actions that align with those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors - teaching practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and build effective coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore goals and access their own capacity for growth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Ednina works collaboratively with each person to find the methods that best match their needs, preferences, and goals. She tailors techniques over time, combining approaches as appropriate to support progress.

Online therapy provides flexibility in how care is delivered - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so clients can engage in work when and where it fits their life. For many people, this accessibility makes it easier to maintain consistency with sessions, practice skills between meetings, and get timely support from licensed professionals and therapists experienced in addressing a range of concerns.
