About Judith

Judith Jacques is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Florida with 21 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, eating issues, addictions, grief, and other life changes. She also supports clients dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, intimacy and self-esteem issues, and parenting strain.

Judith uses straightforward, solution-focused methods to help people identify practical steps forward. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to look at current patterns and habits that keep problems going. Sessions may include working on communication, boundary-setting, and problem-solving skills.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work degree from Boston College and many years of clinical practice. She has experience with blended families, separation and divorce, adoption and foster care matters, and work with people on the autism spectrum. She also has an interest in eating concerns and addictions across the lifespan.

Judith has cared for a large family and brings that life experience into her work. She works with individuals, couples, and people across a wide age range. Her style can be calm and occasionally witty, and she aims to find concrete ways to improve daily life.

Clients can expect direct conversation about what is happening now and what steps could help. The focus is on workable changes in relationships, routines, sleep, and coping skills rather than long theoretical discussion. Practical progress and clearer next steps are central to her approach.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel understood and clarifies priorities so they can make choices about relationships and family role patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems down into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, sleep difficulties, and mood changes. The Gottman Method offers tools for improving communication and managing conflict in relationships and can guide couples toward clearer ways of interacting.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to match methods to goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as needed. That choice is reviewed over the first sessions so adjustments can be made together.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not possible, and reduce travel time. Telephone or video options have practical differences - phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in when a quick conversation is needed, while video sessions allow visual cues for relationship work. Ask about the available formats when you schedule so sessions match your needs and routine.
