About Edna
Edna Sanders is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience practicing in Indiana. She focuses on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. She also works with people facing relationship strain, sleep problems, addiction issues, and changes in life roles.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most urgent. Sessions aim to map out manageable steps and clear skills people can try between appointments. Edna draws on approaches that include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness, emotion-focused techniques, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy.
People who feel isolated or anxious in social situations may find sessions oriented toward practical strategies for speaking up, handling criticism, or facing avoidance. She pays attention to how cultural background, caregiving responsibilities, or veteran experiences shape stress and mood. That context helps guide which tools are tried first.
Expect a focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns. Therapy can also include short experiments in new behaviors and gentle tracking of how those changes land in daily life. Edna highlights clear goals and regular check-ins so progress is visible.
She also supports those dealing with grief, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and job-related burnout. Before scheduling a session, readers should confirm current session options and practical details to see which format fits their routine.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy starts with listening and following the person's concerns. It focuses on what matters most to the client and shapes sessions around their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses clear exercises to test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try specific techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That process means methods can change as people learn what fits their needs and daily life.
This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, reduce commute time, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and exercises, while audio or phone options can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Ask during intake which formats are offered and how they work for your routine.
