About Judith

Judith Brunow is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with 19 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges like ADHD and coping with life changes.

She focuses on practical work in sessions. Judith helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and build small changes they can use day to day. She treats issues related to substance use, process addictions, and codependency by talking through behaviors, triggers, and options for different choices.

Her approach treats the person as the expert in their own life. Judith listens for strengths and points them out so clients can use what already works. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and aims to help people increase motivation, manage mood symptoms, and regain a sense of control over daily functioning.

Sessions include straightforward goal-setting and skill practice. Judith often focuses on things like setting boundaries, managing anxiety, handling grief, and coping with chronic illness or pain. She also addresses practical concerns such as money stress, communication problems, and dealing with shame or isolation.

People meet her to sort through immediate problems and to make concrete plans for change. Her style is direct and supportive, with an emphasis on steps clients can try between sessions. To start, prospective clients follow the site process to answer a short questionnaire and schedule their first session.

How sessions work

How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions

Judith uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. One common approach emphasizes learning specific coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing techniques, activity scheduling, and graded exposure to feared situations. These methods help people reduce avoidance and practice tolerance of difficult feelings.

Another approach focuses on patterns around addiction and codependency. This style looks at triggers, routine behaviors, and decision points. It breaks down old habits into manageable steps and builds alternative responses that can be tried between sessions.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what works. That process helps identify which tools fit a person’s life and priorities rather than assuming a single method will be best.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. In general, working with a licensed professional online can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule. It may allow for shorter check-ins, fewer travel interruptions, or options that suit different attention or mobility needs. Discuss format and timing when scheduling the first appointment to match sessions to daily life.
