01About Edi
Edi Peterson helps people handle stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, depression, trauma, and grief. She also supports concerns like sleep and eating problems, anger, low self-esteem, career shifts, and compassion fatigue. Edi is a Licensed Professional Counselor, with 22 years of clinical experience working in New Jersey.
She uses straightforward methods to set clear goals with each person. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Edi emphasizes measurable progress and aligns goals with a person’s values and daily life.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix helps when habits, motivation, or thinking patterns get in the way of change. Edi adapts tools to issues like chronic pain, caregiver stress, smoking cessation, and isolation.
Clients can expect a collaborative tone. Edi listens for what matters most, then helps break larger problems into small, doable actions. She pays attention to both emotions and behavior so change feels manageable.
With a longtime clinical background, she brings experience rather than jargon. Conversations are practical and paced to the individual. The goal is clearer coping, better routines, and steps that fit a person’s life.

04Online support
How Edi’s Approaches Work Online
CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions use this to break cycles of anxiety, depression, or unhealthy habits into specific steps that can be practiced between meetings.Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a person’s own reasons for change. Through guided conversation, it helps build commitment for things like quitting smoking, reducing substance use, or improving self-care.
Solution-Focused Therapy zooms in on what is already working and builds from small successes. This approach is useful when someone wants quick, practical changes that fit their daily routine.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, coping prompts, or ongoing support between live meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
