Judeann Colasante-Spaide, LCSW

Judeann Colasante-Spaide is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the ups and downs of life. She offers straightforward support for problems like addictions, grief, anger, bipolar mood swings, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and ADHD. She aims to make talking about hard things feel less overwhelming.

She has 20 years of professional experience and holds LCSW credentials in New York and New Jersey. In sessions she creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. Judeann emphasizes practical steps people can try between meetings so progress continues outside the session time.

Judeann often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focusing on how thoughts affect feelings and actions. She works with clients to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding to stress. That translates into concrete tools for managing anxiety, mood shifts, cravings, or intense reactions.

Her style is collaborative: she listens, offers ideas, and adjusts the plan to fit each person’s needs. Sessions balance conversation, skills practice, and small homework tasks to build confidence over time.

Based in New Jersey, she offers several online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. The goal is to make therapy practical and easy to fit into a busy life.

Approach-focused online care with flexible formats

Judeann often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts that lead to upsetting feelings and actions. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, mood swings, and managing cravings or strong reactions.

Her work centers on practical exercises and short tasks to practice between sessions. She and the person seeking help decide together which strategies to try first and adjust them based on what feels most useful and doable. That collaborative process helps make sure the approach fits each person's goals and day-to-day life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide options that match different needs. Video calls are good for conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins, brief problem-solving, or people who prefer typing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between appointments.
