Judith (Judy) Durdan, LCSW

Judith (Judy) Durdan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience. She practices in Florida and works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, sleeping problems, and life changes. Judy also supports people facing trauma and abuse and those navigating relationship concerns and self-esteem struggles.

She writes plainly and listens for the practical problems that make days harder. Sessions focus on recognizing patterns, learning small skills, and using strengths people already have. Judy blends listening with straightforward techniques so people can try things between meetings.

Her background includes inpatient and outpatient care. She has worked with people living with severe and persistent mental illness, individuals involved in forensic settings, people experiencing homelessness, and veterans. She also spends time with adults who want support for everyday struggles and clearer next steps.

Judy uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. That range lets her move between skill practice, values work, and reflective conversation depending on what a person needs.

In sessions she helps people break problems into manageable steps. She and the client agree on the plan and adjust it as progress is made. The emphasis is on practical, steady work toward clearer thinking, fewer intense reactions, and better daily routines.
