About Edith

Edith Blake is a Licensed Professional Counselor who practices in Texas. She has six years of experience helping people manage stress, depression, anxiety, and parenting challenges. Edith draws on practical methods to help families and individuals find tools that fit their daily lives.

She writes and speaks plainly in sessions and aims to make therapy feel approachable and useful. Her background includes work in schools and independent practice, supporting students, families, and adults through crises and transitions.

Background and approach

That history shaped how she helps with trauma, addiction, grief, sleep struggles, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. She has also supported people facing caregiver stress, blended family problems, and issues rooted in family of origin. In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused practices.

These approaches are used to change unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and create concrete steps toward goals. For some clients she integrates faith when they ask for Christian-centered counseling. Her style is warm, interactive, and respectful.

Parents often find her straightforward guidance useful for handling communication, boundaries, and parenting stress. She works in English and is licensed in Texas - TX LPC 81672. Edith encourages small, steady steps toward change.

She focuses on what will help a person or family right now, while keeping longer term growth in view. People who want practical strategies paired with personal support are likely to find her approach fitting.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit family life

Client-centered work focuses on listening and creating a supportive space. It helps people feel heard while they sort through feelings and decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides concrete tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and change habits that get in the way.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Edith collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they try strategies, track what helps, and adjust the plan based on progress and life demands.

Online therapy brings flexibility for busy families and individuals. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home. Phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging offer shorter or more frequent touchpoints when schedules or childcare make longer sessions hard. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a family's routine while still getting consistent support from a licensed professional.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
