Judy Cline, LCSW

Judy Cline is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 10 years of counseling experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, life changes, and midlife concerns. Judy offers a calm, accepting space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and consider next steps.

She spent many years working as a hospice grief counselor and brings that experience into other areas of practice. That background shapes how she supports people dealing with loss, caregiving strain, end-of-life decisions, and bereavement. Judy also supports people navigating relationship and family challenges, career shifts, parenting stress, ADHD, and questions about life purpose.

Her approach is collaborative and flexible. She leans on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work. Judy adapts methods to match each person’s needs and goals rather than following a single formula.

Sessions focus on building a trusting relationship, noticing what matters most, and identifying small, workable steps toward change. She aims to offer acceptance and encouragement while helping people practice new ways of responding to hard emotions and difficult situations.

If a person is unsure where to begin, Judy guides them through a short assessment and helps set realistic goals. She invites active participation and supports gradual progress toward clearer priorities and healthier patterns.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters and take steps that align with those values even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress and improve mood. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and managing everyday stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help people improve emotional closeness and repair relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Judy will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust them so sessions match the person's needs and pace.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can make it simpler to have a shorter check-in during a break, avoid travel time, or meet from a different location on a given day. Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available options before booking. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to an online setting and focus on clear goals, skills practice, and steady progress without promising a specific outcome.
