About Judith
Judy trained at the University of South Carolina College of Social Work and holds the CSW credential. Her background includes roles in correctional mental health, hospice care, and work with the Department of Veterans Affairs at a community outpatient clinic. She has extensive experience with PTSD, bipolar disorder, adjustment to life changes, bereavement, and other mood and trauma-related concerns.
In sessions she favors practical, skills-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Judy also draws on client-centered practices to keep conversations focused on what matters most to each person. Motivational interviewing and acceptance-and-commitment ideas appear in her work when clients want help making lasting changes.
People often come to her for help with workplace stress, addiction concerns, sleep problems, and coping after loss or traumatic events. She describes her role as walking side-by-side with clients rather than leading, and aims to support people in reaching self-defined goals.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to accept hard feelings while taking steps toward what matters to them. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and making value-driven changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through concrete exercises and practice. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's perspective and strengths, giving the person space to explore goals while the therapist offers empathic support.Finding the best approach is a joint effort. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins between commitments. Others appreciate being able to use mindfulness practice or homework tasks from home. Discuss scheduling needs and practical preferences with the therapist to find a rhythm that fits everyday life.
