About Judith
She earned a Bachelor of Education and Biblical Studies from Southeastern Bible College and a Master of Science in Agency and Community Counseling from the University of Montevallo. Judith has more than three decades of experience in mental health settings. That work includes private practice, intensive outpatient programs for severe mental illness and chemical dependency, wilderness programs for teens, and outpatient services for children and adolescents.
Judith has provided in-home therapy for at-risk families and has training in trauma counseling. She also holds certification from the Alabama Board of Examiners in Counseling to provide supervision for counselors pursuing full licensure. Her background includes helping people manage chronic pain and illness, family dysfunction, and issues around loss and grief.
In sessions she helps people set short-term and long-term goals and breaks steps down into manageable actions. She aims to build honest, respectful relationships that reduce manipulation or abuse. Judgment is kept aside while the person identifies who they are and how they want to live.
Outside of work she is active in her church, enjoys writing, cooking, sewing, quilting, and spending time with her grandchildren. Judith describes her role as walking alongside people as they work toward meaningful change.

Approaches that guide online care
Judith often draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely, reflecting what the person says, and helping them find their own direction. It is helpful for building self-understanding and improving relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and works on practical changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Judith will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then combine methods that fit best. That means treatment plans are collaborative and adjust over time based on what helps most.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options when someone prefers not to be on camera. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep work moving forward even when schedules are tight.
