About Judith

Judith Jacques is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Florida with 21 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, eating concerns, addiction, trauma, grief, intimacy problems, sleep trouble, parenting challenges, ADHD, and codependency. She also supports those coping with major life changes and career pressure.

Judith trained at Boston College and brings long experience across age groups. She has worked with individuals, couples, and blended family situations, and has additional training related to eating disorders and autism spectrum concerns. Her background includes living and working in Massachusetts before relocating to Florida.

Her style is straightforward and solution-focused. Sessions look at practical steps a person can take now. She uses approaches such as client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns and try new behaviors. In relationship work she draws on Gottman and Imago-informed ideas to address communication and connection.

Expect conversations that aim to identify small, achievable changes. Judith mixes active problem-solving with reflective listening. She keeps sessions focused on real-world adjustments people can test between meetings.

Outside clinical work she is a parent and grandparent, and she references life experience when relevant to a client's situation. People who prefer a direct, pragmatic approach to concerns about boundaries, people-pleasing, or living around another person's problems may find this style fits their needs.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Judith uses client-centered therapy, which means she listens closely and focuses on what matters most to the person in front of her. This approach helps people feel heard and clarifies goals for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and offers concrete tools to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change patterns that fuel codependent behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Judith will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. She adjusts tools and plans as progress is reviewed, so the approach can shift if something isn’t helping.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or letting someone use audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework for remote meetings so practical change can continue between sessions.
