About Judith

Judith Jacques is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 21 years of clinical experience, practicing from Florida. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns among her main focus areas and also works with eating issues, addictions, grief, trauma and a wide range of parenting and intimacy-related concerns.

She trained at Boston College where she earned her MSW, and she has long experience supporting people across the lifespan. Judith says she has worked with people affected by divorce and separation, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care, and issues tied to aging and caregiving. She also notes experience with autism spectrum concerns and body image struggles.

Her stated approach leans toward solution-focused work. She aims to identify practical steps that improve daily life and reduce immediate stress. Judith also lists client-centered ways of working and uses cognitive behavioral tools when helpful to shift patterns of thinking and behavior.

Judith mentions experience with couples work and blended family issues, and she includes the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy among the approaches she uses for relationship concerns. She also notes particular attention to eating disorders and addictions in her background.

Outside of practice she is a parent and grandparent, which she says informs her perspective on parenting and family pressures. She prefers straightforward conversations, gentle humor at times, and a focus on solutions people can try between sessions.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Judith uses solution-focused techniques that look for small, practical changes a person can try between sessions. This approach helps when someone needs clear steps to reduce stress, improve sleep, or manage parenting pressures. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another method she uses; CBT breaks down unhelpful thoughts and habits and teaches concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, or eating-related behavior.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try first. That may mean combining solution-focused planning with CBT exercises or introducing relationship tools when relevant to communication and intimacy concerns.

The practical advantages of online work include fitting sessions into busy days and reducing travel time, which can make regular check-ins easier to keep. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Sessions done remotely can be useful for short focused check-ins, weekly work on behavioral skills, or longer conversations about parenting and family matters. Licensed professionals typically adapt materials and exercises so they remain useful at a distance.
