About Judith
Judith Sachs is a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflicts, grief, and anger. Judith also lists concerns such as guilt and shame, abandonment, body image, and issues related to chronic illness and pain.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. She uses a mix of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with elements from Jungian work and the Gottman Method when relevant. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage difficult feelings and on clarifying values and next steps.
Judith draws on her own long-term recovery from addiction as part of her work with people facing substance use challenges. She mentions using her 12th step living as a way to connect and share perspective with clients who are navigating addiction or relapse concerns. This is offered as part of her background rather than a formal program.
Her style is conversational and respectful. She adapts the dialogue and treatment plans to each person's situation. In meetings she may include lighthearted references to two Shih Tzu companions who are often present in her office.

How Judith Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Judith commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings and choose actions that align with their values. ACT is often used for persistent shame or guilt that affects how someone moves through daily life.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thought that keep people stuck and to practice concrete changes in behavior and thinking. CBT can be useful for anxiety, anger, and patterns that feed shame. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her approach as well, providing a conversational, nonjudgmental frame to explore what matters to the client.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Judith will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. She adapts methods over time rather than sticking to a single technique, checking in about what is or is not working.
