About Judith
Judith Sachs is an LCSW licensed in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people managing stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, navigating family problems, and dealing with grief and loss. Her background includes long-term personal recovery from addiction, which she shares when relevant to support clients working on similar issues.
She uses practical, straightforward conversation to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Judith works with people to set clear goals and to practice different ways of responding between sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centered and Jungian ideas to shape sessions around what a person needs to try next.
In sessions she pays attention to patterns from family of origin and relationship dynamics that often keep problems repeating. Communication skills and managing control issues are common targets. When addiction is present she brings both clinical approaches and her lived experience into the discussion.
Judith describes methods that focus on skills practice, values clarification, and noticing thoughts that lead to unhelpful actions. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method when relationship communication is a concern. Sessions aim to be direct and task-oriented, with concrete steps to try between meetings.
She works in English and is based in Florida. For people considering remote work, confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available.
How CBT, ACT, and client-centered work online
Judith combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and client-centered methods in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing alternative behaviors to reduce anxiety and change habitual responses. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and practicing acceptance of difficult feelings while still moving toward a chosen life direction. Client-centered work centers on listening and reflecting so clients can notice what matters and decide next steps.Choosing which approach to use is collaborative. Judith will discuss goals and preferences and recommend steps to try. That conversation may change as progress is made, and methods can be mixed to fit a person’s needs and responses.
Confirm which session formats are offered before you book so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help many people keep consistent appointments and practice skills between meetings.
