About Judy Thomas

Judy Thomas is an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - with 20 years of experience supporting people across age groups who face mood disturbances, attention and motivation challenges, stress, and the everyday difficulties those issues create. She approaches care with a direct, honest, and compassionate style, prioritizing open communication and transparency so that clients and therapist work together with clarity and mutual respect.

Her practice is a judgment-free space where different life situations and identities are met without bias. Judy draws on Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, Solution-Focused, Reality, and Psychodynamic methods to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. She believes in each individual’s capacity to address struggles when given appropriate guidance and support, and she brings both professional experience and personal understanding of loss and hardship to her work.

Therapy with Judy is framed as a partnership - the client guides the process while she listens, offers resources, and helps break problems into manageable parts. Together they will identify recurring themes, clarify what is and is not working, and use the client’s vision for their life to develop practical skills and replace patterns that no longer serve them.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with attention and motivation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive or self-destructive behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical, goal-oriented strategies and short-term steps to build on a person's strengths and progress toward specific changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Judy Thomas works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then recommends or combines methods that fit the client's situation. The aim is to test what works and adjust as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessible options for care. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, connect from different locations, and maintain continuity of treatment. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to provide regular support, teach coping skills, and track progress over time.
