About Edna
Edna Sanders is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience based in Indiana. She focuses on common and complex concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. Her work also touches on self-esteem, relationship and family issues, grief, addictions, sleeping problems, and attention-related concerns like ADHD.
Edna uses straightforward, client-centered methods to help people name and understand difficult emotions. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns in feelings and interactions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, and mindfulness practices to support day-to-day coping.
In sessions Edna listens for how past experiences shape current reactions. She helps people spot unhelpful patterns and try small changes that can ease distress. Practical tools and short exercises are often part of the work, together with time to reflect on difficult memories or losses.
Her practice pays attention to cultural background, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to aging or military experience. Areas she also addresses include abandonment, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation, jealousy, and post-traumatic stress.

How her approaches are used in online sessions
Edna commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name hard-to-identify emotions and to notice recurring interaction patterns. EFT is often useful when someone wants to understand attachment and emotional responses in close relationships.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and offers practical skills for change. These methods are aimed at everyday problems like anxiety, low mood, and stress reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Edna will help clients and therapists decide together which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different strategies and adjusting as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often use video or phone options depending on a client's circumstances, and Edna will discuss what works best when arranging the first appointment.
