About Judea
Judea Castillo Winter uses a humanistic, client-centered approach at the heart of her practice. She is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience and she focuses on helping people sort stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and relationship concerns. Judea speaks plainly and keeps sessions focused on practical next steps that clients can try between meetings.
She blends client-centered work with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness.
Background and approach
That means she listens first, and then offers ways to change unhelpful thoughts and build steady habits. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation and EMDR for trauma when appropriate. Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and a Master of Social Work.
She holds clinical social work licenses in Kentucky and Ohio and has worked with a range of complex situations over the years. Judea brings that breadth into short-term goals and longer-term planning. In sessions she aims to be direct but compassionate.
Conversations move from naming what’s hard to testing small changes. She helps people cope with life transitions, career stress, eating and body concerns, intimacy issues, and questions about identity and self-worth. Judea also supports people facing aging and caregiver stress, divorce and separation, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and workplace difficulties.
Her style is collaborative - she works alongside each person to find steps that feel doable and meaningful. If someone prefers to work remotely, Judea offers video, phone, live chat, and text messaging as ways to connect and keep momentum between sessions.

Online support
How Judea adapts therapy approaches for online care
Judea often uses client-centered work, which begins by listening and following what matters most to the person. That approach focuses on each person's strengths and goals, helping them name what they want to change and choose steps that fit their life.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that looks at thoughts and behaviors. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments to shift how they feel and act. For intense emotional ups and downs, she brings in skills from dialectical behavior therapy to teach grounding, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation techniques.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on the client's goals and feedback. That collaborative process helps find what works best over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for in-depth work and skill practice, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or movement is a concern, and chat or messaging works well for quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between meetings. These formats make it easier to keep momentum and fit therapy into busy schedules.
