Background and approach

Judy believes the relationship between client and counselor is the foundation for change. She offers steady acceptance and nonjudgmental support while encouraging clients to notice new choices and try small experiments between sessions. Judy draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to help people understand patterns in feelings and close relationships.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools when they fit the situation. Her work is client-centered, so sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and goals. In sessions she helps people name difficult emotions, practice new ways of relating, and set realistic, manageable goals.

She encourages active participation and offers coaching-style feedback when helpful. Many clients find this mix useful for coping with loss, burnout, family stress, and life transitions. Judy welcomes conversations about treatment style and practical next steps.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work with strong emotions that affect close relationships. It focuses on recognizing core feelings and changing interaction patterns that keep people stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages living in line with personal values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where values-based action matters. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of connecting and reacting; it can help people who want to understand patterns in intimacy, caregiving, or family roles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Judy will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so the process stays collaborative and practical.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is better. Live chat and text messaging can support quick reflections, brief coaching, or timely emotional grounding between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity as needs change.
