Edie Factor, LCSW

Edie Factor is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of practice in Florida. She works with people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and addictions. Her manner blends warmth and compassion with clear, direct guidance when that is helpful. She supports decision making while encouraging practical next steps toward change.

Edie uses straightforward conversation to help clients recognize patterns that keep them stuck. She points out how negative habits and unhealthy relationships affect day-to-day life. Then she helps people try different ways of coping that feel doable and realistic.

Her approach mixes short-term goal work with attention to deeper emotional patterns. That means addressing immediate problems like panic, grief, or anger while also looking at old wounds that shape current choices. She offers suggestions, coaching, and gentle challenge when needed so people can move forward.

Edie also pays attention to intimacy, attachment, and communication issues. She helps people facing abandonment, codependency, infidelity, or trust problems learn new ways of relating. Parenting strain, career stress, and life transitions are also common topics in her practice.

People who prefer clear direction and compassionate support tend to find her style useful. She invites clients to take small steps and evaluates progress together. To begin, she asks people to reflect on goals and then plans next steps that fit their life and needs.

Approaches that inform online work

Edie commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on practical skills - spotting unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. EFT centers on emotions and attachment, helping people name feelings, improve communication, and build more secure connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. She will discuss options with each person and decide together what to try first based on goals, symptoms, and personal preference. That collaborative process lets the work shift if something feels unhelpful or a different focus is needed.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to keep appointments around busy schedules, cut travel time, and fit brief check-ins into a workday. For some people video or phone sessions let them speak from a quieter space or avoid the need to be on camera, which can make it easier to focus on emotional material.
