Edie Factor, LCSW

Edie Factor is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of practice in Florida. She sees people coping with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma, and other stressful life shifts. Her manner is warm and compassionate, and she can be direct when helpful. She invites each person to set the pace and make the choices that feel right for them.

Edie focuses on helping people break negative patterns and move away from unhealthy behaviors and relationships. She uses clear conversation, practical steps, and suggestions when appropriate. Sessions aim to help people notice what keeps them stuck and try different ways of responding.

She works with a wide range of concerns including grief, addiction, parenting strain, intimacy and sexual trauma, ADHD, and stress-related issues like compassion fatigue. She also addresses specific problems such as abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency, infidelity, and career stress. Her background includes work with people facing end-of-life issues and fertility-related distress.

Edie blends several approaches to match each person's needs, drawing on cognitive behavioral tools, emotionally-focused ideas, psychodynamic reflections, and solution-focused techniques. This mix helps people shift thought patterns, strengthen emotional connections, uncover repeating life themes, and find immediate next steps.

Her style is practical and relational. She listens for patterns, offers clear feedback, and supports people as they try new behaviors. To begin, she asks people to describe their concerns and goals so sessions can be tailored to their situation.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Edie commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused therapy to shape sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and helps people try new responses to unhelpful thinking. Emotionally-focused therapy focuses on recognizing and changing patterns in close relationships and is often used for intimacy and attachment concerns.

She treats finding the right approach as a shared process. The therapist and client talk about goals, what has helped or not helped before, and together choose techniques that match the person's needs and preferences. That collaboration continues as progress is tracked and methods are adjusted.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It also lets people continue work when life changes or mobility is limited, while keeping focus on the same clinical approaches used in in-person work.
