About Judith

Judith Huerta is a licensed independent clinical social worker with 16 years of experience. She focuses on trauma, relationship strain, anxiety, and stress. Judith emphasizes a straightforward, collaborative style that centers the person's own strengths and goals.

She believes clients know their story best and brings tools to help people move forward. Sessions focus on practical steps and gentle challenge rather than jargon. Judith listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try new ways of responding.

Background and approach

Her work often includes addressing pain from trauma and abuse, and the ripple effects that shows up in family life and close relationships. She also supports people dealing with depression, grief, addiction concerns, and struggles with intimacy or self-esteem. Judith pays attention to how attachment and trust shape current relationships.

Judith uses a mix of approaches based on what each person needs. That can include cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts, skills from dialectical behavior work for emotion regulation, and EMDR to process traumatic memories when appropriate. She explains options and works with clients to choose what fits.

People seeking help can expect clear, direct conversations and homework that fits everyday life. Judith values steady progress, small experiments, and the strengths people bring to the work. Her practice is based in Minnesota and sessions are offered in English.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches that work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds affect current relationships. In online sessions this approach looks at patterns of connection and trust and helps people try new ways of relating to others and themselves. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is well suited to video or phone work and includes practical exercises people can practice between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to process distressing memories; when appropriate, elements of EMDR can be adapted to telehealth conversations and guided exercises.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, history, and goals, and then suggest options. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives or limited travel options. Video calls let the therapist and client work face-to-face; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers no video. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, journaling between sessions, or when someone wants support without scheduling a full session. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school routines and to use therapeutic tools in the moment when problems arise.
