Edie Factor, LCSW

Edie Factor is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience in private practice in Florida. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship problems, and struggles with intimacy. Her manner is warm and compassionate while also offering clear, direct guidance when needed.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations that focus on real-life changes. Edie listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and helps find practical ways to try something different. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with other approaches to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of feeling better.

Edie draws on emotionally-focused and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current relationships. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals and build momentum. Sessions are aimed at practical steps, not long lectures.

She works with a wide range of concerns including grief, addictions, parenting stress, career challenges, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues around attachment, codependency, and infidelity. Edie also supports people facing end-of-life caregiving and fertility-related stress.

The first sessions are used to understand what matters most and to agree on simple, doable steps forward. Progress is tracked in concrete ways so people can see change. Edie encourages active collaboration and aims to make therapy a usable part of everyday life.

How Edie’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Edie frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing everyday stress by turning ideas into small experiments and practical homework.

She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to explore how emotions affect relationships and attachment. EFT-style work helps people name feelings, track interaction patterns, and build clearer emotional responses in close relationships.

Choosing which approach to use is a team effort. Edie works with each person to decide what fits their goals, needs, and preferences. She may combine methods and adjust the plan as progress is made, inviting feedback and making changes together.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support quick check-ins, homework review, or ongoing coaching between visits. These options make scheduling more flexible and allow therapy to fit into a busy life.
