Judy draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and shift behaviors that keep problems going. She blends Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice their moment-to-moment reactions without judgment.

She also incorporates Psychodynamic Therapy to look at recurring life patterns and how past experiences influence present choices. Her style emphasizes steady progress through small steps and practical tools. Clients will work on skills in session and practice them afterward with structured assignments.

Judy aims to make therapy feel manageable so people do not give up before seeing change. Judy practices in California and accepts international clients. Prospective clients begin by using the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling based on therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online work

Judy blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and become more present with their feelings. CBT focuses on spotting and shifting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, panic, and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and support steady coping for stress and cravings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Judy will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will try methods that fit your needs. She aims to be collaborative, adjusting techniques as you learn what works and what needs more focus.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions for fitting therapy into busy schedules, reducing travel time, and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work can allow shorter check-ins, flexible timing around work or caregiving, and consistent practice of skills learned in sessions.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.
