About Judi
Her background includes work as a school teacher, bereavement specialist, business owner, ballroom dance instructor, and mental health therapist. Those roles shaped her practical style and her focus on everyday coping skills. She has 23 years of experience in the field and brings that perspective to each session.
Judi draws on cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early patterns affect current relationships. Client-centered and acceptance-based strategies help people set values-guided goals and make choices that fit their lives.
Session work often focuses on concrete skills like time management, setting boundaries, coping with caregiver stress, and navigating blended family dynamics. Judi also supports people facing grief, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related concerns. The aim is useful, manageable steps rather than jargon-filled therapy.
She invites people to think of therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions are oriented around clear goals and real-life changes, from improving communication to handling overwhelming emotions. Judi emphasizes steady progress and practical tools clients can use between sessions.
How Judi's Approaches Translate to Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It often includes simple exercises to notice thoughts, commit to goals, and build routines that support change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. CBT work usually involves practical homework like tracking thoughts and testing new responses. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns formed early in life and how they show up in current partnerships and parenting; it helps people notice those patterns and practice different ways of connecting.Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Judi works together with each person to choose what fits best. She takes the client’s goals, life situation, and preferences into account and may combine elements from different methods to create a clear plan for sessions.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to virtual sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings and apply them in daily life.
