Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Judith Hamilton
Judith integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based techniques to support clients in online settings. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship and helps people explore their values and strengths while setting goals that matter to them. CBT offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and mood conditions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, often helping with stress, trauma symptoms, and sleep difficulties.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - Judith works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques from these approaches so therapy feels practical and aligned with what the client wants to achieve, and she calibrates the plan over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Judith offers flexible access to care via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, support consistent attendance, and allow clients to use the format that feels most comfortable while working with a licensed professional or therapist.
