About Ednita
Dr. Ednita Wright is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 35 years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and people questioning life purpose. Sessions also address eating issues, anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related concerns.
Dr. Wright uses straightforward conversation to help people locate the missing pieces that keep them stuck. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful patterns, and on Client-Centered and Jungian approaches to explore personal meaning. Her style aims to clarify values and identify small, practical steps forward.
She brings long experience with substance use and addiction issues, including work with drug and alcohol concerns and recovery-related stress. Her background includes work on adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness and disability, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. She also consults with colleges and community agencies about inclusion and related topics.
Dr. Wright has taught in higher education for more than 25 years in Alcohol/Substance Abuse Counseling, Human Services, and Teacher Education. That experience informs how she explains concepts and helps people weigh options during life transitions. She invites people to examine practical choices rather than promising a single answer.
People who are wrestling with career shifts, relationship endings, health changes, or a sense that something is missing may find her approach useful. She asks questions, listens to what is already working, and helps arrange steps that fit everyday life.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to the person and making small changes that align with those values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and a sense of being stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches skills to shift those patterns; it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person's perspective to help them feel heard and make their own choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Wright will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She uses the approaches to test practical steps and adjust them based on what helps most.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can also adapt exercises and homework to daily life so progress can happen between meetings rather than relying on long in-person visits.
