About Edith
Edith Lewis-Allen is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with six years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, trauma and relationship concerns. She also supports work around self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related issues, career shifts, ADHD, and multicultural stressors.
Her style is practical and person-focused. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try new ways of responding. That might mean learning skills for calmer moments or practicing different ways to talk about needs.
Edith draws from several evidence-informed approaches. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts. Dialectical behavior strategies help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports clarifying values and taking committed action despite uncomfortable feelings.
She also integrates client-centered and emotionally-focused methods to strengthen how people understand themselves and relate to others. That can include exploring past hurts, attachment patterns, and cultural influences on relationships. For people coping with addiction or process-related concerns, she combines relapse-prevention thinking with skills training.
Edith pays attention to multicultural factors and to how prejudice, discrimination, and identity shape mental health. She works with survivors of sexual assault and women’s issues, and supports people experiencing panic, isolation, or compulsive behaviors. Her approach aims to build practical skills and clearer choices rather than quick fixes.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Edith uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take action even when feelings are uncomfortable. ACT focuses on values, present-moment awareness, and practical steps toward meaningful goals.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change thought patterns that fuel anger, anxiety, or depression. CBT sessions often include tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and practicing different responses outside sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and managing impulsivity. These skills can help when anger flares or when someone struggles with strong mood swings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Edith will work with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can evolve as therapy progresses, with adjustments made together.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, sessions that avoid travel time, or phone-based meetings when video is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and skill practice for remote sessions to keep work practical and focused.
