Edie Factor , LCSW

Edie Factor is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of clinical experience based in Florida. She sees people who struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and other life stressors. Her manner is warm and compassionate while remaining direct when clear guidance is needed.

Edie uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She helps people untangle negative thinking, move through grief, and cope with major life changes. She also works with concerns such as addiction, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, and career stress.

Her background includes long-term therapeutic work that draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused approaches alongside psychodynamic ideas. This mix lets her address current problems and the deeper feelings that keep them repeating. Sessions aim to identify small changes that make daily life easier.

People who come to her can expect gentle clarity and concrete suggestions when useful. She offers support while encouraging clients to make their own choices about next steps. Edie also brings an understanding of issues related to attachment, codependency, abandonment, and forgiveness.

She pays attention to the practical side of getting better. That can mean rehearsing difficult conversations, building coping skills for anxiety, or planning steps after a separation. Her goal is steady progress that fits each person’s pace and priorities.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Edie often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small changes that reduce anxiety or depression. She also integrates emotionally-focused ideas to help people understand and improve their emotional responses in close relationships and intimacy-related struggles.

Choosing the right approach is something to do together. She will listen to your goals and preferences, explain options, and suggest a path that combines short-term solutions with deeper work when needed. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what matters most for you.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit your life. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer no camera, live chat is good for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and to use therapy in the way that suits your schedule and needs.
