Judy has experience with trauma, mood disorders, panic, and substance-related issues from her work in corrections, hospice, and veteran care. She draws on that experience when helping people manage strong emotions, stress, and life changes. Practical skill-building and brief coaching are part of her practice.
People can expect straightforward conversations about goals and next steps. The first meetings typically focus on understanding the problem, identifying what matters to the person, and picking a few concrete strategies to try. Progress is reviewed and adjusted as needed.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them. It helps when stress, anxiety, or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills for managing mood, panic, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so the person sets the pace and goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, explain what each method involves, and help choose strategies that match the person's needs, goals, and preferences. Decisions about which methods to use are made collaboratively and can change as the work progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in the context of day-to-day routines. Talk with the therapist about scheduling, session length, and how to structure meetings so they work with regular commitments.
