Edie Factor, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Edie

Edie Factor is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of practice based in Florida. She works with people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of life stresses. Her approach mixes warmth with clear guidance so clients know what to expect from sessions.

She keeps conversation direct but caring, offering practical suggestions when they are needed. She aims to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck and to try different ways of handling problems.

Background and approach

Many clients come to her for help with parenting, intimacy issues, addiction, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Edie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic ideas, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She uses these methods to help people change unhelpful thinking, improve emotional connection, and find workable solutions.

Sessions focus on simple, doable steps that fit day-to-day life. Therapy with her often includes talking through difficult feelings, learning new coping skills, and practicing different choices outside sessions. She also addresses specific concerns such as attachment, codependency, communication problems, and the emotional fallout from divorce or infidelity.

Edie describes herself as supportive and compassionate while also offering direction when it will help. She helps clients move toward better emotional balance and clearer decisions at a manageable pace.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Edie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different reactions. CBT focuses on clear steps and practical homework to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another main approach she uses to explore emotional patterns and strengthen how people connect with others. EFT helps when relationship or intimacy issues feel stuck and when emotions need clearer expression.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and what feels most comfortable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let clients meet from home, fit sessions into busy days, and continue work between meetings. The goal is to make it easier to try new coping skills and keep momentum while working toward better emotional balance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.
