About Judith

Judith Sachs is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflicts, grief, and anger. She brings lived experience in recovery and uses that perspective when supporting clients who are working on substance concerns and related challenges.

Background and approach

Her approach is respectful and compassionate, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs. Judith blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with a person-focused stance, drawing on methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and client-centered work to address patterns of thinking, feeling, and behavior.

She also incorporates relational tools informed by the Gottman Method and depth-oriented ideas from Jungian therapy when they serve the client’s goals. Sessions explore coping strategies, communication, self-compassion, and life purpose while honoring each client’s story.

In addition to online practice, Judith maintains a independent practice in Florida. She emphasizes flexibility around scheduling and aims to create a welcoming environment where clients can explore difficult emotions and make meaningful changes at their own pace.

How Judith's Approaches Translate to Online Care



Judith uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering clear strategies for managing anxiety, stress, and addictive behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of her toolbox; it focuses on clarifying personal values and practicing mindful acceptance so clients can act in ways that matter to them despite difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative rather than fixed. Judith will work together with each client to assess which methods align best with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting techniques over time as progress and needs evolve.

Online therapy with Judith is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support without traveling, and they allow therapeutic work to continue in the context of everyday life while maintaining the same therapeutic focus and planning as in-person sessions.
