About Judith
Judith (Judy) Durdan helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma, sleep problems, anger, and life changes. She also supports concerns such as communication problems, addiction, loneliness, money worries, panic attacks, seasonal mood shifts, and women's issues. Judy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW with 22 years of experience and practices from Florida.
Judy keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first and then works with each person to set small, doable goals.
Background and approach
She uses a mix of skills and everyday strategies so people can start seeing gradual change. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can be tried next. Her style blends acceptance and action.
She draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thinking. She uses acceptance and commitment tools to help people decide what matters and move toward it. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are added when they fit the client's needs.
Judy has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Her background includes experience with people facing serious mental health challenges, homelessness, forensic settings, and veterans, as well as people simply needing someone to listen. That breadth shapes a practical, nonjudgmental approach.
Sessions are shaped together. Judy adapts her approach based on each person's goals and life circumstances. She focuses on small steps, clearer communication, and building on existing strengths so people can regain a sense of control.

Online support
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and situations that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change patterns that make problems worse. It is useful for panic, mood changes, and social anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try approaches together. That collaborative process means methods are adapted over time to fit what actually helps the client move forward.
Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging are available for shorter exchanges, homework support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules and keep continuity when travel or relocation occurs.
