About Edna

Edna Sanders is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She practices in Indiana and focuses on helping individuals who feel stuck by teaching practical skills and offering steady guidance.

Edna draws on straightforward, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage day-to-day symptoms and big life changes. Sessions often include talking through current problems, building coping strategies, and practicing skills to reduce overwhelming feelings. She pays attention to cultural background and personal history when planning next steps.

Clients meet someone who listens without rushing and who helps set small, achievable goals. Work can include addressing self-esteem, relationship strain, grief, sleep problems, or career stress. Edna also supports people facing addiction concerns, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach blends client-centered methods with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Mindfulness and emotionally focused ideas may also be used to help people connect with emotions and respond differently in relationships.

Edna has experience helping people with attachment and abandonment issues, adjustment to aging, post-traumatic stress, ADHD, and multicultural concerns. She aims to help clients build resilience and clearer communication.

How these approaches guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's pace. The therapist aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what matters most and set goals they feel ready to try. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses step-by-step exercises to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and coping with stress, especially when feelings feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will suggest strategies that fit the situation. People often try a blend of approaches and adjust over time as progress and priorities become clearer.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during work breaks, or offering ways to work without being on camera. Licensed professionals can use these formats to continue skill practice, track progress between sessions, and bring therapy into everyday routines.
