About Judith

Judith Jacques is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Florida with 21 years of clinical experience. She works with common life stresses such as anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressure, and anger. Her caseload also includes eating issues, addictions, grief, trauma and a range of attachment and family concerns.

She trained at Boston College where she earned a Master of Social Work. Judith has long experience with blended families, separation and divorce, and couples work including Gottman and Imago-informed ideas. She also supports people affected by adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, aging concerns, and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

Her style leans toward solution-focused work. That means sessions look for practical steps clients can take to change patterns and feel better right away. She uses Client-Centered listening and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.

Judith often brings attention to communication and relationship patterns. For couples this can mean using tools from the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy to improve listening and reduce reactivity. For individuals she combines goal-focused planning with skill practice to manage stress, anger, or mood shifts.

She speaks English and welcomes international clients. The practical aim of her work is clearer choices and steadier day-to-day functioning rather than quick fixes or promises. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how online work can fit

Judith blends Client-Centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people clarify their own goals. It helps when someone needs to sort feelings, values, and relationship priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful habits.

She also uses Solution-Focused methods, which concentrate on what’s working and on small achievable steps toward a preferred outcome. That approach can be useful for people who want direct, goal-oriented sessions that lead to concrete changes in daily life. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is collaborative; the therapist and client will try options and adapt based on goals and what feels most useful.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commuting time. Others appreciate that remote work can make scheduling around work or caregiving easier. The therapist will discuss session length and practical arrangements so the work fits into everyday life rather than adds extra burden.
