About Judith

Judith Sachs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 20 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, family concerns, grief, and anger and works directly with adults who want clearer ways to respond when feelings run high.

She uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies in sessions. Judith draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and elements of Jungian and Gottman approaches. Sessions look at thoughts, patterns, and the actions that follow them so people can try different responses to anger and frustration.

Judith brings lived experience of recovery from addiction into her work. She describes that personal history as part of how she connects with people facing substance use struggles. That experience shapes how she talks about relapse, cravings, guilt, and ways to keep going after setbacks.

When appropriate she focuses on communication skills and boundaries to ease recurring family conflict. She also helps people process grief, sort out control issues, and address shame or body image concerns that add to stress and anger.

Judith invites straightforward planning in sessions. She and the client set small, practical steps to try between meetings. That keeps therapy grounded and makes it easier to notice what changes and what still carries weight.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values and taking actions that align with what matters. It helps when anger is driven by rigid rules or attempts to avoid difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to interrupt unhelpful cycles of thinking and reacting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection so people can find their own solutions and feel understood.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Judith treats that as a collaborative process. She and the client review needs, goals, and preferences and then try approaches that fit. That way sessions focus on what leads to clearer thinking and fewer reactive moments.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote meetings help them practice skills in real-life settings, and Judith will help match methods and timing to a client's routine.
