About Judith
With three decades of experience in mental health, Judith has worked in many settings. She has provided in-home therapy for at-risk families, outpatient services for children and adolescents, intensive outpatient care for severe mental illness and chemical dependency, and a wilderness program for troubled teens. Her background also includes work with chronic pain, addiction, and family dysfunction.
Judith uses a blend of practical approaches in sessions, drawing on client-centered conversation, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques. She encourages people to name clear short-term and long-term goals and to break those goals into manageable steps. Sessions focus on real-life changes rather than abstract theories.
She holds a Master’s degree in Agency and Community Counseling from the University of Montevallo and a Bachelor’s in Education/Biblical Studies from Southeastern Bible College. Judith is certified by the Alabama Board of Examiners in Counseling to provide supervision for counselors working toward full licensure.
Outside of work she values family life and faith, and enjoys writing, cooking, sewing, quilting, and spending time with her grandchildren. She aims to create a compassionate space where clients can explore challenges and grow toward healthier relationships and self-understanding.

How Judith’s Approaches Work Online
Judith often blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people manage stress and anxiety. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience so they feel heard and can make their own choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and habits and teaches practical steps to change them. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Picking the right approach is a collaborative process. Judith will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences rather than applying a single method to everyone. Goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.
The original biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time. Judith’s approaches translate well to remote sessions because they emphasize clear steps, guided practice, and reflective conversation that can be done in a video or phone meeting when those formats are available.
