About Judith

Judith Huerta is a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of practice in Minnesota who draws on client-centered and evidence-based therapies to address a wide range of concerns.

Background and approach

She emphasizes the client as the expert in their own life and works from that stance to build on existing strengths while addressing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship and family conflicts. Her approach blends practical skills training with deeper work on attachment and emotional processing, tailoring interventions to each person's needs.

In addition to core concerns such as grief, intimacy-related issues, addiction, and self-esteem, Judith brings experience with ADHD, compassion fatigue, parenting and caregiver stress, and an array of attachment and family-of-origin difficulties.

She integrates methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, Gottman-informed techniques and attachment-based work to help clients develop better coping strategies, improve communication, and process past wounds. Judith offers sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging and supports clients in taking the first steps toward change with a collaborative, respectful style.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care



Judith commonly blends Attachment-Based Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support clients online. Attachment-based work explores relational patterns and how early bonds influence current feelings and interactions, which can be helpful for people working through intimacy, abandonment, or family-of-origin issues. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, providing concrete tools for managing anxiety, stress, mood, and many daily challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she emphasizes collaboration in making that decision. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and the presenting concerns together, then adapt methods over time so the work remains aligned with what the client finds most useful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and scheduling flexibility. These options allow people to engage in skill-building, processing work, or short check-ins in formats that fit their life and comfort level, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing other responsibilities.
