About Edith

Edith Lewis-Allen is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with six years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and many related issues. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Her practice focuses on emotional experience and relationship patterns. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In session she helps people name difficult feelings and notice how those feelings affect choices and relationships.

Edith often supports people coping with panic, mood disorders, ADHD, and addiction concerns including drug, alcohol, and process addictions. She also works with survivors of sexual assault and people dealing with prejudice, multicultural stress, or compassion fatigue. She helps clients address impulses, isolation, and self-harm thoughts with practical strategies and steady reflection.

Her style centers on listening, clear feedback, and skill-building. That can include behavioral experiments, mindfulness practices, and values-based work from ACT, or emotion-focused interventions from EFT to map relationship patterns. Therapy emphasizes small, usable changes that fit everyday life.

How Edith integrates specific approaches into online work

Edith uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name core emotions and to see how those emotions shape relationship patterns and personal choices. EFT can be useful when people feel stuck in recurring interaction cycles or when it is hard to describe what they feel.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify personal values and take committed actions that match those values. ACT offers practical exercises and mindfulness skills for handling painful thoughts and moving toward chosen goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot thinking patterns and try small behavioral experiments that change day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Edith will discuss options with each client and together they will decide which methods fit needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps prioritize which strategies to try first and how to adjust over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or family demands, allow brief check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many clients find that remote sessions help them sustain regular work on emotional habits and skill practice between meetings.
