Approaches Judy names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Judy often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the best approach is part of the early work. Judy will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they review what feels useful and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for check-ins, brief support, or people who prefer typing. These options help make therapy fit around work, family, and daily life while keeping treatment focused on real-world skills and progress.
