About Edith
Edith Medlin is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in North Carolina. She brings eight years of professional experience to sessions and focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people feeling overwhelmed by life. Edith works with common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.
She also supports people coping with grief and loss, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. Conversations are respectful and empathetic, and she adapts the pace to each person's needs.
Background and approach
In sessions she uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, along with mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools. Those approaches are used to build coping skills, reduce unhelpful thinking patterns, and strengthen emotional regulation. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, attainable goals.
Edith has additional experience addressing parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, attachment and abandonment issues, and end-of-life concerns. She helps people manage anger, impulsivity, and mood challenges including bipolar symptoms and disruptive mood concerns. Hospice and first responder stress are also part of her background.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Edith will tailor conversations and a plan to the issues you bring and the goals you want. She acknowledges that seeking help takes courage and aims to offer steady support through the process.
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Edith uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety and low mood. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts and focuses on practical exercises you can try between sessions.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT tools are useful when strong emotions or impulsive reactions make everyday life harder.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Edith will discuss options and help choose methods that match your needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way. Plans are adjusted as progress and priorities become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, and chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins or days when a shorter touchpoint is best. These formats make it possible to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain contact between appointments.
