I couldn't have moved forward without Edith's ear and guidance. She has helped me be a better me. And for that I am grateful.

Reviewed March 2024

Edith is very friendly and was patient with me as I took time to open up. She is reassuring and helps me see the positive side of certain things. She encouraged me to branch out of my comfort zone but also had reassurance when I had doubt. I was able to feel like I had power again with my healing.

More about Edith

  • 6 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

Hi there!

I am mental health counselor licensed in Florida with over 5 years of experience working as therapist. I have experience working in various levels of care including residential treatment, outpatient and psychiatric inpatient. I have experience working with clients with a wide range of concerns such as substance abuse, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, relationship issues, life stressors, interpersonal issues, anger and legal issues.

My counseling style is relaxed, empathetic and nonjudgmental. I believe the relationship/rapport with my client is the most important factor in determining how effective I am in providing care and achieving the desired outcome of my client. My therapeutic style is rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy and person centered therapy, however, I believe in utilizing a variety of treatment modalities to best meet my client needs. I believe in adapting my style to meet the client where they are at in their journey of self-improvement.

I look forward to helping yo u!

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
