About Judy
Judy Lilley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 17 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients.
Judy uses clear, practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and shift daily habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns that feed anxiety and depression. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, concrete goals and to try different strategies between sessions.
In practice she focuses on straightforward problem solving. Conversations emphasize what is happening now, what keeps it going, and what can be changed. People can expect steps to test between meetings and specific skills to reduce intense emotions or manage stressors.
Judy also attends to moral and spiritual concerns when clients bring them up. She has ministerial credentials in addition to her LPC and respects how faith and values shape coping and meaning. She describes this as one part of the work when it is relevant to the person she is seeing.
Her approach suits people who want structured, action-oriented sessions. She helps people work through issues such as loneliness, guilt and shame, forgiveness, aging concerns, and questions about life purpose. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Judy Uses CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Judy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. CBT sessions often include tracking thought patterns, practicing a different response, and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy is brief and goal-directed, concentrating on concrete next steps and what is already working in a person's life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Judy will talk with each person about their goals, what has helped before, and how they prefer to work. Together they decide whether to concentrate on skill practice, short-term goals, or a mix of both, and adjust the plan as progress is seen.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and let people work from a quieter location that reduces travel time. Licensed professionals can still use structured CBT exercises and solution-focused planning in virtual meetings, and Judy aims to keep sessions practical and focused on tasks people can try between appointments.
