About Judith

Judith Huerta is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with 16 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and anger.

She approaches therapy from the view that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. Sessions focus on practical steps and conversation. Judith aims to make time to listen and to help people identify patterns that keep problems repeating.

Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current feelings and reactions. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small changes that can reduce distress. Dialectical behavior strategies are used to build coping skills when emotions feel overwhelming.

Judith has worked across many settings over 16 years and brings that experience to treatment planning. She supports people facing depression, grief, addiction concerns, intimacy or body-image issues, and caregiving stress. She also helps with concerns like communication problems, codependency, and forgiveness work.

Practically, sessions involve talking through what is happening now, testing new ways of responding, and practicing skills between meetings. People who want to better manage anger or reduce tension at home or work will find concrete strategies and clear feedback in her sessions.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Judith uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape current reactions. That approach helps when anger or relationship tension links back to past attachments and aims to increase understanding of triggers and patterns.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts that increase distress and trying small behavioral experiments to change responses. CBT is practical for managing stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and anger-related reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Judith will discuss the options with each person and decide together on techniques that match goals and preferences. That collaborative process means approaches can shift as needs change.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they can fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Online work can also make it easier to practice skills between meetings and to bring real-life situations into discussions.
