About Judith
Judith Sachs is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger, and family-related concerns. She meets people where they are and aims to create a calm, respectful space to talk through difficult moments.
Background and approach
She focuses on practical conversations and concrete steps. Sessions are shaped to each person's needs so the work fits their life and goals.
Judith draws on approaches that include the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered work, and Jungian ideas to offer different ways of looking at problems. Judith speaks from both professional and personal experience with addiction recovery.
That experience informs how she supports people facing substance use issues and relapse concerns. She uses straightforward strategies alongside reflective discussion to build momentum toward change.
Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps clients try specific tools for emotion management, communication, and behavior change.
Conversations often include setting small goals and trying experiments between sessions. Judith practices in Florida and provides online care as well.
She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules and needs. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works for them.
Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Judith often uses the Gottman Method and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as part of her online work. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication patterns and reducing conflict by practicing specific skills for interaction and problem solving. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and take committed action toward a more meaningful life.She also draws on client-centered techniques that emphasize empathy and collaboration while adapting tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits. The choice of approach is collaborative: Judith will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video is useful for longer sessions and when visual cues matter. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text are helpful for short updates, exercises between sessions, or when typed conversation feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility for fitting therapy into workdays, caregiving schedules, and busy lives.
