About Judith

Judith Huerta is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota with 16 years of experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and sleep and rest problems. Judith speaks plainly and centers each session on the person in front of her.

She believes clients are the experts on their own lives and builds on existing strengths. In sessions she listens, asks clear questions, and helps set small, achievable goals. People often work on better communication, boundary setting, and managing strong emotions.

Judith uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. That can include work on attachment patterns to improve trust and closeness, cognitive tools to change unhelpful thoughts, and skills to handle intense feelings. She also brings approaches aimed at processing traumatic memories when that is appropriate.

Practical concerns are part of the work. Judith helps people who struggle with addiction, grief, body image, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue to find manageable steps forward. She also supports those facing issues like codependency, commitment fears, and family-of-origin wounds.

If someone wants to begin, Judith asks for a short matching questionnaire and a session scheduled according to availability. The process is collaborative and paced to fit the client’s goals and life circumstances.

How Judith’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can look at attachment needs, communication habits, and ways to build safer connections in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. In remote sessions Judith can guide thought records, behavioral experiments, and practical homework that fit a client’s daily routine. Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Judith collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most. Confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to practice skills between sessions. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to deliver the same skill-building, processing, and planning work they do in person, adapted to each person’s life.
