About Judea
Judea Castillo Winter is an LCSW and an LISW with 12 years of clinical practice. She works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and career and life transitions. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices from Ohio while holding licensure in Kentucky and Ohio.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and a Master of Social Work. That training shaped a humanistic, strength-based approach. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered methods, DBT skills, EMDR, and mindfulness practices as appropriate.
In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and then try different ways of responding. She describes therapy as sometimes feeling hard at first when issues become real. She works either more collaboratively as a team or as a guide, depending on what a person prefers.
Judea has experience with dual diagnosis, substance use concerns, domestic violence, trauma and working with older adults and caregiver stress. She also addresses issues such as eating and food-related concerns, self-esteem, bipolar concerns, and midlife or life-purpose questions.
Practical matters are discussed plainly. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and cost varies by location. International clients are not accepted. To get started, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the site.
How CBT, Client-Centered Work, and DBT Skills Are Used Online
CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way of daily functioning. Online sessions can use step-by-step exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments to try different responses to stressful situations.Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting what matters to the person. In this approach the therapist follows the client’s concerns and supports them in clarifying goals and values rather than directing solutions.
DBT skills offer concrete tools for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Skills practice can include breathing and grounding techniques, emotion regulation strategies, and role-play of communication skills during a session.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That plan can change over time as progress and new concerns emerge.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as options are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to schedule short check-ins, fit sessions around work or caregiving, and practice skills in real situations. Ask about session length and any subscription details when you complete the matching questionnaire.
