About Edie

Edie Factor is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience offering psychotherapy in Florida. She draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and a variety of life transitions.

Background and approach

Her clinical background includes supporting clients with grief, addiction concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, and identity-related questions within the LGBT community. Her therapeutic manner blends warmth and compassion with clear, practical guidance when it is helpful.

She aims to help clients recognize and interrupt unhelpful patterns - such as codependency, attachment wounds, or repeated relationship conflicts - and to move toward healthier coping and greater emotional resilience. Edie also works with issues like anger, bipolar-related concerns, career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and family or fertility-related struggles.

Clients who choose her can expect a collaborative process in which the therapist offers direction and suggestions while leaving final decisions to the individual. Her practice emphasizes tangible strategies alongside deeper exploration, with attention to forgiveness, grief work, and resolving isolation or shame so clients can pursue more satisfying and balanced lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Edie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often using concrete exercises and practical strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. She also integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy to explore patterns in close relationships and strengthen emotional connection and communication when intimacy or relational injuries are a concern.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process rather than a one-time decision. She works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and comfort level, combining techniques as appropriate and adjusting plans as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and life demands. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, coordinate therapy around work or parenting responsibilities, and access support from home while pursuing practical, goal-focused work.
