About Judith

Judith Jacques is a licensed clinical social worker with 21 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship turmoil, eating concerns, addiction, grief, and midlife transitions. She also supports those coping with sleep problems, parenting strain, career decisions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Judith works in a straightforward, solution-focused way. Sessions center on identifying practical steps that can improve daily life. She brings a calm, empathetic style and a bit of wit when appropriate. Her aim is to make therapy understandable and doable for people juggling many demands.

Judith earned a Master of Social Work from Boston College and practiced for many years in Massachusetts before working in Florida. That background includes additional training and long experience with eating concerns, blended families, separation and divorce, and addictions. She has also worked with people on the autism spectrum.

She describes her practice as flexible about age and relationship status and has experience with people from early childhood through later life. Judith highlights listening first, then collaborating on goals and simple strategies to move forward. Her methods focus on change that fits everyday life.

Clients can expect practical homework, short-term planning, and adjustments over time as needs shift. The overall aim is clearer communication, improved coping, and targeted steps toward better routines and relationships.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. It helps people feel heard and shapes goals around what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and introduces small, testable changes to improve mood and routines. The Gottman Method concentrates on relationship interactions and practical communication skills to reduce conflict and rebuild connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Judith will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration means trying strategies, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

If you prefer online work, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can guide practical exercises, homework, and communication skills just as they would in person, while adapting sessions to your circumstances and pace.
