About Judith

Judith Stanton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a long clinical history beginning in 1996. She draws on nearly three decades of practice to create a calm, respectful space for parents and families exploring difficult changes. Judith speaks plainly and meets people where they are, helping them sort priorities and find workable steps forward.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She builds trust by listening first and offering clear options.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical moves you can try between meetings, not on jargon or lectures. Judith has worked in community settings and independent practice across many care environments. That work included people coping with trauma, abandonment, domestic violence, HIV/AIDS, homelessness, grief, and long-term effects of childhood abuse.

She also has experience with addiction services in outpatient and correctional settings. In independent practice she helps people manage depression, anxiety, stress, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Family concerns and relationship struggles are a frequent focus, along with issues around attachment, communication, and commitment.

Judith supports clients who want either short-term problem solving or longer-term work. Sessions are offered from her base in Texas. She brings steady attention and years of experience to each visit.

Her approach emphasizes clear goals, honest feedback, and realistic coping skills that families can use at home.

Approaches that guide online family and relationship work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. It helps people identify patterns in closeness, trust, and emotional safety so they can change how they connect with partners and family members. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respect and empathy. The therapist offers nonjudgmental listening and supports clients in finding their own solutions to stress, grief, and relationship conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Judith and the client will talk about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She aims to create a plan that blends approaches when needed and adjusts it as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to keep regular contact, follow up between sessions, and use therapy during busy family routines. The variety of formats supports continuity of care while allowing flexibility for parents and caregivers.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
