About Edna
Edna Sanders is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience. She holds LCSW credentials in Indiana, Mississippi, New Jersey and Virginia. She focuses on common problems such as depression, anxiety, trauma and life changes.
Her work often centers on everyday pressures like work stress, relationship strain, parenting, and caregiving demands. She also helps people dealing with loneliness, grief, addiction struggles, sleep problems, and attention-related concerns such as ADHD. Communication problems, anger, and issues around intimacy are regularly part of sessions.
Edna uses straightforward, practical methods. Sessions typically involve talking through what is happening now, noticing patterns, and trying small behavior changes to reduce distress. She draws on approaches that include client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help people manage emotions and improve daily routines.
Cultural background and life context are part of how she plans care. She pays attention to how identity, work, and family roles shape stress and coping. That can mean adjusting strategies for someone who is a caregiver, aging, in the military community, or facing multicultural challenges.
People can expect a focus on clear goals and concrete skills. The therapist helps set short-term steps for managing symptoms and longer-term plans for relationships, career decisions, or recovery from past harms. To begin, clients use the directory's matching process to schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective. It helps people clarify goals and feel heard while deciding what changes to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns that keep anxiety or depression going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to identify priorities and try methods that match those goals. Adjustments are made as needed so the plan stays useful for daily life. Confirm the current session formats before booking, as options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people use video, phone, or other supported formats depending on what the therapist offers and what works best for the client's schedule and comfort.CAreas of focus
