About Judith
Dr. Judith Josiah-Martin is a Maine-based LCSW with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career questions, compassion fatigue, and issues connected to codependency. She helps people who keep putting others first and who feel empty, overwhelmed, or stuck in repeated patterns.
Her sessions focus on practical, understandable steps. She listens for how relationships and past family dynamics shape current choices. Then she uses clear tools to help people set limits, build self-respect, and make decisions that match their values.
Dr. Josiah-Martin draws on several evidence-informed approaches. She uses cognitive behavioral methods to spot unhelpful thinking and ACT ideas to clarify values and take committed action. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect current closeness and trust. Mindfulness practices are woven in to help manage stress in the moment.
She has substantial experience supporting concerns beyond codependency, including abandonment, caregiver stress, addiction, domestic violence aftermath, and immigration-related stress. Her practice also addresses aging and family of origin issues that affect daily functioning and relationships.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. Expect to talk about real situations from daily life, try practical exercises between meetings, and review what’s helping and what needs adjusting. Clients work toward steadier boundaries, clearer priorities, and smaller, doable changes that add up over time.
How sessions work
How her approaches can work in remote sessions
Dr. Josiah-Martin often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps that match those values. ACT focuses on actions aligned with personal priorities rather than trying to eliminate uncomfortable feelings immediately.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns influence current boundary-setting and trust. This work can help people understand why they repeat caretaking or people-pleasing behaviors and learn alternatives.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That means trying things, noticing what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time so people can meet during a lunch break or between errands. Therapists in general aim to adapt exercises and mindfulness practices so they work over distance and in the settings clients have available.
