About Judith

Judith Jacques is a licensed clinical social worker with 21 years of practice. She offers help for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, grief, eating concerns, addictions, codependency, ADHD, and other life challenges. Judith writes simply and speaks plainly to make the first steps feel manageable.

She trained at Boston College where she earned a Master of Social Work, and she now practices in Florida. Judith draws on long experience working with adults across many stages of life. Her background includes additional training and clinical interest in eating disorders, couples work, blended family dynamics, separation and divorce, addictions, and autism spectrum concerns.

In sessions she keeps things focused and practical. Judith uses a solution-focused approach to identify small, workable changes people can try. She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person's goals and pace. Cognitive behavioral ideas are used when helpful to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Judith brings an empathetic, calm presence and a bit of wit to conversations. She emphasizes straight talk and doable steps so progress feels clear. People who prefer a warm, grounded clinician who also offers practical tools often find her approach helpful.

Her work addresses everyday issues like sleep, parenting strain, career stress, intimacy problems, and coping with life transitions. She also supports people managing chronic conditions, caregiver stress, attachment concerns, and the emotional effects of loss and trauma.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Judith uses client-centered work to prioritize each person’s goals and pace, helping people feel heard while deciding what to address first. Client-centered sessions tend to help with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and figuring out priorities.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and trying practical alternatives. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep struggles, and coping skills for daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Judith collaborates with people to choose which methods fit their needs and preferences. She will work with each person to set goals and try strategies that match their situation and comfort level.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use tools and worksheets during or between sessions. Many clients find this flexibility helps them stick with plans and try new steps in everyday life.
