About Edie

Edie Factor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of clinical experience in private practice in Florida. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship pain, including emotional and sexual trauma. Her tone is warm and compassionate while also offering direct guidance when it helps clients move forward.

Edie uses practical talk and clear suggestions to break patterns that keep people stuck. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, try new ways of responding, and set realistic steps toward change. She emphasizes collaboration - clients decide what feels right and Edie supports them through the process.

Her background includes work across mood concerns, trauma, intimacy and relationship problems, parenting stress, career challenges, and identity issues including LGBT concerns. Edie also addresses related struggles like abandonment, attachment wounds, codependency, and communication problems. She brings experience helping people cope with life changes, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and forgiveness work.

In session she blends different approaches to fit each person’s needs. That may mean focusing on thoughts and behaviors, mapping emotional patterns in relationships, or exploring how past experiences still shape today. Sessions are practical and grounded, aimed at clearer daily choices rather than vague theory.

People who look for direct yet caring support may find her style a good match. She invites those ready to take steps toward greater emotional well-being to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

Edie commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy into her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against daily experience to change mood and behavior. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at emotional patterns in relationships and helps people notice and shift the ways they respond to strong feelings.

She also draws from psychodynamic ideas to see how past experiences shape present behavior, and uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and quick steps forward. Deciding which mix to use is collaborative; she will talk with each person about goals and preferences and shape sessions around what seems most useful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time for appointments. The therapist will help match approach and format to your needs so therapy fits into your everyday routine rather than adding more stress.
