About Ednina
Ednina Welters is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who uses a person-centered approach to guide clients through practical change. She combines empathy with clear, goal-oriented techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and substance-related concerns. Her style is direct but warm, aiming to help people feel heard and to find workable steps forward.
With 11 years of experience, Ednina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and commit to actions that matter. These approaches are often used alongside skills drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotional regulation is a focus. Ednina supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges tied to self-esteem or intimacy.
She also addresses career concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and life transitions. Practical coping tools and clear planning are frequent parts of her sessions. She works with issues related to abandonment, attachment, communication problems, codependency, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and body image.
Sessions emphasize collaboration - clients set goals and try small, measurable steps between meetings. Progress is tracked in simple, concrete ways. Ednina offers therapy in English from Illinois and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
She aims to help people build manageable habits that reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Ednina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is practical and often focuses on homework and skill practice between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify what matters most to a person and to encourage committed action toward those values, which can help with anger, anxiety, and life transitions. Her person-centered stance keeps the conversation grounded in the client’s experience and priorities so the work stays relevant and personal.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than assuming a single path up front.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when that feels important. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging allow for flexible, ongoing touchpoints and can fit into busy days. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or caregiving demands.
