02 · In Edith's own words

What Edith says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

Living life is a journey that is sometimes wonderful and other times very difficult. By walking with you on your journey, helping you through these times when the way is tough, you do not have to face it alone. I'd like to help you!

I have worked in a variety of settings helping individuals and families experience emotional healing. I have assisted those struggling with a wide range of mood disorders, relationship problems, including trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical or emotional abuse or trauma and addictions. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral techniques which focuses on changing how we think in a way that changes our emotions and behaviors. For those specifically seeking Christian counseling, I offer experience seamlessly integrating faith into the healing process. I love what I do. I love to see others grow, heal, and thrive. I am passionate about it and I will give your concerns my very best. I am currently licensed in Texas and work exclusively with Texans seeking help and healing.

My active family consists of two grown adults, my son and daughter and two granddaughters and one grandson. On weekends you can find me somewhere outside enjoying nature, and my family. I have practiced counseling students and young children as a Licensed Specialist in School Psychology in schools and as Licensed Professional Counselor, in Texas. I worked in schools assisting special needs students and students in crisis. as well as in private practice.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic and positive psychology. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

Taking steps towards change, and wellness are strongly encouraged. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you on your journey.

I look forward to meeting you!

03 · How Edith works

The 5 approaches Edith lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Edith lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Edith's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Edith runs a session.

Client-Centred TherapyPerson-centred · Rogerian

The therapist does not steer toward a technique or a diagnosis. They offer sustained, non-judgemental attention and reflect back what they hear, on the premise that people find their own direction when they are genuinely listened to. Often what people mean by “someone who just gets it”.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

Mindfulness-Based TherapyMBCT

Trains attention on what is happening right now - body, breath, the thought as it arrives - so distress can be observed rather than automatically acted on. Strongest evidence is in preventing depression from recurring, and it is usually taught as a practice you keep doing outside the session.

Solution-Focused Brief TherapySFBT

Starts from where you want to end up rather than from how you got here. Sessions look for the times the problem is already smaller and work out what is different about those, so the number of sessions tends to be short and the work concrete.

Trauma-Focused TherapyTF-CBT · trauma-informed

CBT adapted for people whose difficulty is rooted in a frightening or overwhelming event. Pacing is the point: safety and stabilisation come first, the memory itself is approached gradually and only when you are ready, and the aim is that recalling it stops hijacking the present.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Edith practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Edith's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Edith at this point.

2. Naming Edith specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Edith is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Edith.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Edith

Built from what Edith actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Edith's - Edith has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Edith's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Edith. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
