About Judith

Judith Jacques is an LCSW with 21 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and life transitions. She also supports those dealing with eating concerns, addictions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Judith draws on a long personal and professional life to connect with clients in a straightforward, caring way.

Her style is calm and empathetic, with a touch of wit when appropriate. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than long theory talks. She describes her work as solution-focused, helping people find concrete ways to improve their day-to-day lives.

Judith earned a Master of Social Work at Boston College and has lived and practiced in multiple states, now based in Florida. She has additional training in eating disorders and has spent a lot of time working with couples, blended families, separation and divorce, and people on the autism spectrum.

In sessions she listens first, then helps identify small changes that add up. She works with people across a wide age range and brings real-life parenting and caregiving perspective from raising five children and having nine grandchildren. This background informs how she talks about family, caregiving, and long-term life challenges.

If someone wants direct, goal-oriented help for relationships, parenting strains, or coping with major change, she aims to make therapy practical and usable. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment. It helps when someone needs acceptance, empathy, and a space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will start by asking about goals, what has worked before, and what feels most important now. Together they will try approaches that match the person's needs and adjust as progress is reviewed.

The biography does not name specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It can also make it simpler to include blended family members or coordinate around work and caregiving schedules. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, session length, and whether occasional in-person meetings are helpful.
