About Edith

Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with six years of experience. Edith Lewis-Allen focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and self-esteem concerns. She also works with trauma and abuse, grief, mood disorders, and issues related to identity and discrimination. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Edith aims to help people manage overwhelming feelings and regain practical control over day-to-day life. She uses clear, evidence-based methods so clients learn skills they can use between sessions. Conversations tend to be direct and goal-oriented, with attention to cultural background and personal history.

Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered techniques alongside Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when helpful. That mix lets her address symptoms like panic, impulsivity, and depression while also looking at relationship patterns and emotional processing.

Edith has particular focus on drug and alcohol addiction, process addictions, sexual assault and abuse recovery, and women’s issues. She also supports people coping with loneliness, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Treatment includes practical coping strategies, behavior change work, and attention to how discrimination or multicultural factors affect wellbeing.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and costs vary by location. To begin, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values-based action, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence behavior and mood and teaches practical skills to interrupt unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for panic, phobias, and mood symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your concerns and goals and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made if something does not fit the client’s needs or preferences.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking since they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when only a brief update is needed, and reduce travel time. Some approaches translate well to remote sessions because they use concrete skills practice, worksheets, and between-session exercises that clients can do from home. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises so the work continues to progress even when meetings are remote.
