Ednina Welters

Ednina Welters is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and relationship problems. She uses a straightforward, person-centered style that emphasizes practical change and individual strengths.

Ednina draws on a mix of approaches to tailor sessions to what the client needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings and act on values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are introduced for emotion regulation when needed, and Gottman Method ideas inform work on communication and intimacy issues.

Her background includes 11 years in clinical settings helping adults with depression, bipolar issues, ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. She has also supported people facing career transitions, caregiving stress, chronic health challenges, and addiction-related struggles. Her practice pays attention to attachment, abandonment, and personality-related patterns that affect relationships.

Ednina emphasizes collaboration in the room. Sessions are interactive and goal focused. She helps people identify small, workable changes and practices they can try between meetings.

Ednina practices in Illinois and holds the LCPC credential, which stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. Sessions are conducted in English. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take small steps toward what matters. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and living with ongoing challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress and build better routines. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and managing addictive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to test methods, adjust strategies, and find what fits the person's goals and daily life. That process is flexible and paced to the person's needs.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or phone options depending on comfort, bandwidth, or how much time they have during a day. Licensed professionals can bring ACT and CBT tools into remote sessions through guided exercises, homework, and real-time coaching to help people practice new skills between appointments.
