About Judy
Judy Davis-Farash is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 30 years of professional experience. She works with people who are struggling with addictions, relationships, grief, self-esteem, and major life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices from California.
Judy focuses on practical, conversational work. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most to the person in front of her. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help notice patterns of thinking and change unhelpful behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy shows up in short-term planning and setting reachable steps.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with people facing a range of challenges. Judy has helped clients manage divorce and separation, commitment and communication problems, codependency and caregiver stress, and body image or eating-related worries. She also has experience with aging and geriatric issues, cancer-related concerns, and family of origin matters.
In sessions she keeps the conversation direct and practical. People work on specific goals, try new ways of handling situations, and review what helps. For grief and forgiveness work she combines trauma-focused thinking with present-day problem solving.

How Judy’s approaches translate to online work
Judy draws on client-centered therapy to build clear, person-focused conversations online. This approach centers on listening and reflecting so the person can name what matters and decide the next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes; it often works well for concerns like self-esteem, guilt, and patterns that keep recurring. Solution-Focused Therapy adds brief goal-setting and concrete steps to try between sessions, which can make progress feel more visible.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Judy will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to decide which methods to emphasize. That decision is collaborative and can shift as the person’s needs change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day and to keep follow-up planning visible between sessions. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed and reduce the time spent traveling. Therapists and licensed professionals often find these practical features help maintain steady progress without overloading a schedule.
