About Edlaine

ACA counsellor with 13 years of experience, based in Australia. Edlaine Franco uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, self-esteem and major life changes. She speaks English and Portuguese and brings experience from practice in both Brazil and Australia.

Laine works directly with people feeling overwhelmed by everyday pressures. She helps clients sort through anxious thoughts, rebuild confidence, and address communication problems in close relationships. Parenting challenges, coping with separation, and navigating blended family dynamics are regular topics in her sessions.

Her approach centres on practical strategies and steady conversation. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings. She attends to cultural background and the effects of adoption, abandonment, or family of origin issues when these come up.

Edlaine has supported people dealing with caregiver stress, isolation, guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose or midlife change. She also addresses control issues, dependent personality concerns, and forgiveness work. Multicultural concerns and LGBTQ+ matters are noted elements of her experience.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies by location. Edlaine does not accept international clients. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

Background and approach: With a background as a psychologist in Brazil and membership of the Australian Counselling Association, she draws on years of practice to set straightforward goals with clients. Conversations aim to identify patterns, try concrete coping techniques, and improve everyday functioning. The emphasis is on practical change over time.

How evidence-based approaches guide online work

Edlaine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach emphasises identifying unhelpful thinking and trying concrete alternatives; this helps with anxiety, stress and low self-esteem by giving clear tools to test in daily life. Another common focus is improving communication skills and behavioural patterns in relationships, which involves looking at interaction habits and rehearsing new ways of speaking and listening.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Edlaine collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She discusses options, checks what feels manageable, and adjusts the plan as progress or challenges emerge.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. These practical benefits help people keep consistent contact with a counsellor while balancing family, work and other commitments.
