She helps people work through family of origin issues, forgiveness, guilt, and the effects of trauma and abuse in straightforward steps.

Practical approaches for online therapy and skills work

Judi draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking. CBT often includes simple behavioral experiments and homework so clients can try different reactions and notice what changes.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most and build actions around those values. ACT focuses on accepting strong feelings while still taking steps toward a chosen life. Attachment-based ideas are used to map relationship patterns and improve how someone connects and communicates with others.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients are invited to offer feedback so strategies match their needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video lets people work face to face for skill practice, phone can fit a short check-in or when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can support brief updates or between-session coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other commitments while continuing steady progress.
