Practical, Mindful Therapy That Fits Your Schedule

Judith (Judy) Durdan, LCSW, draws from evidence-informed approaches that can translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and actions, then practicing new ways of responding. It is often used when someone wants structured tools for stress, anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful habits.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward personal values. This approach can be helpful when clients feel stuck, overwhelmed, or want to build resilience during major life changes. Mindfulness Therapy supports paying attention to the present moment with more steadiness, which can strengthen coping and reduce reactivity in day-to-day situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Judy collaborates with clients to shape an agreed-upon plan based on goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting as needs change over time.

Online therapy makes it easier to get support in a format that fits real life. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone, and many clients also value the flexibility of live chat or text-based messaging for ongoing reflection and support between sessions.
