About Judith

Background and approach
Her background blends mental health and medical training, which she uses to understand both emotional and physical aspects of distress. In sessions she draws on a few different methods, choosing what fits each person. Common tools include cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts, mindfulness practices to reduce rumination, and EMDR for trauma memories.
She adapts these methods to match a person’s goals and comfort level. Judith often helps people who have lived through assault, combat, or other severe stressors, and she also supports those facing loss, panic, or adjustment after big life changes. She pays attention to how aging, medical issues, and caregiving can affect mood and relationships.
Her style mixes listening with practical steps you can try between sessions. She focuses on clear goals, small experiments, and learning skills to manage symptoms. The first sessions tend to clarify priorities and outline a plan for moving forward.
Approaches and what online therapy looks like
Judith uses cognitive behavioral methods to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, and depression by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new skills.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, to address disturbing trauma memories. EMDR involves guided processing of memories and can reduce the intensity of distress tied to past events. Mindfulness practices are another part of her work and teach attention skills to lessen rumination and increase calm in daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Judith will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Together they adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes therapy more flexible. Video works well for a full session with visual cues, phone can be simpler when video isn't possible, and messaging or chat fits quick check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options help fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on progress and practical strategies.
