She holds a Doctorate in Behavioral Health, an advanced degree that complements her counseling training, and maintains certifications in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and biofeedback.

Her experience includes support for depressed mood, anxiety, relationship and communication challenges, boundary setting, substance misuse, long-term pain and chronic health issues, and stress-related problems.

Known for a collaborative, goal-oriented style, Edi works with individuals to set clear objectives and define measurable steps that align with their values. She approaches each partnership with compassion for the effort it takes to seek help and a commitment to lifelong learning, continually integrating research-informed techniques to help people move toward a healthier, more satisfying life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is practical and skills-based, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problem-solving. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative style that focuses on exploring a person’s readiness for change and strengthening the motivation to take steps toward goals; it is especially useful for substance misuse and behavior change. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and small, achievable steps that move a person toward their preferred future, making it a concise approach for goal-oriented work.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapeutic process. Edi works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for busy schedules and those managing health or mobility challenges. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, access support from home, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
