About Judith
Judith Wilson is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Alabama with 31 years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and addiction. She also addresses parenting, grief, ADHD, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.
Judith trained in education and counseling, with a master’s degree in Agency and Community Counseling from the University of Montevallo. Her background includes private practice, intensive outpatient programs for severe mental illness and chemical dependency, wilderness programs for teens, and outpatient work with children, adolescents, and families. She has provided in-home therapy for at-risk families and has certification in trauma counseling.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses client-centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices. Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy also inform her work when helping people set goals and change patterns that fuel anger or resentment.
Sessions focus on clear, achievable steps. Judith helps people identify what triggers their anger, test small behavior changes, and strengthen communication with others. She draws on experience with grief, family dysfunction, and chronic illness when those issues interact with a person’s temper.
Outside of counseling she is active in her church, enjoys writing, cooking, sewing and quilting, and spends time with her grandchildren. She also supervises counselors pursuing full licensure in Alabama.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can name what they want to change. It helps when anger feels tied to relationships or identity and someone needs clear feedback and support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to test new responses to triggering situations. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills that reduce reactivity and help a person notice early signs of escalation.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Judith will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. The plan can shift as progress is made and as new priorities emerge.
The original biography does not list which session formats she uses, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful because they can fit therapy into a work break, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when days are busy. Online meetings can also make it easier to continue weekly practice exercises between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, mindfulness exercises, and client-centered talking in remote appointments to keep the work practical and focused.
