More about Edna
- 14 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in Indiana, Mississipp, New Jersey and Virginia, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients address depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions with compassion and expertise. I have extensive experience working with diverse populations, particularly focusing on self-esteem, communication challenges, social anxiety, interpersonal relationships, and multicultural concerns.
My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in understanding individual experiences, especially for those facing isolation, workplace stress, and interpersonal dynamics. I am committed to creating a supportive environment where clients can explore personal growth, heal from past experiences, and develop meaningful strategies for emotional well-being.
I bring a nuanced perspective to therapy, recognizing the unique intersections of personal identity, cultural background, and individual challenges. My goal is to empower clients to cultivate self-love, navigate life changes, and build resilient, authentic connections with themselves and others.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Ms. Sanders is a lovely therapist. She listens to me and makes me comfortable to be myself and honest. She’s friendly and very kind. She’s helped me with negative thoughts and showed me skills I’ll keep forever.
I love to work with Edna because she not only listens, but shares relevant experiential input. She asks questions when my meaning is ambiguous or unclear and is very encouraging about the things that are going well in my life, reminding me that the light always overpowers any darkness there may be.
Ms. Edna is wonderful, she makes sure she gets all the important information I need that with any struggles I'm going through. She listens and is caring, goes above.
Edna is very understanding and made me feel so much better about myself. She challenged me and was always honest with me. Loved the assignments she would send that help with self worth, and methods for anxiety
Great
Working with Edna has truly been a blessing. I came in unsure of myself and struggling to function due to lots of anxiety and a lack of self-confidence. Through her guidance, careful listening and insight, I have been able to overcome my hurdles and deal with my anxiety in a much healthier way. The lessons she has worked with me on have completely changed how I feel about myself and how I react in various situations. I am happier now than I ever have been, and I owe that to Edna making a safe, helpful environment where she helped me learn and grow. Thank you, Edna!!!
Working with Edna has been extremely helpful. She has been thoughtful and deliberate in assessing my concerns, and is eager to ensure that this is done in a collaborative manner. In addition to this, Edna is intuitive, and asks evocative questions that have helped shape my perspective of various things that I currently have going on. In sum, I have made some great improvements in working with Edna (in a relatively short time frame), and look forward to continued improvements as I remain working with her.
