About Judy

Judy Cline, LCSW, brings a decade of clinical social work experience to people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She has spent many years working in hospice grief counseling and draws on that background when supporting clients through loss, caregiving strain, end-of-life concerns, and related emotional challenges. Her practice also includes work with relationship and family issues, trauma and attachment concerns, parenting and intimacy-related struggles, career questions, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.

Judy places the therapeutic relationship at the center of care, offering a nonjudgmental space grounded in acceptance and empathy. She combines several evidence-informed methods - including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment principles, attachment-focused work, emotionally-focused strategies, and client-centered approaches - and tailors interventions to each person’s needs.

Clients are invited to collaborate actively in goal-setting and problem solving, building practical skills while exploring underlying patterns. Judy emphasizes empowerment and gradual change, welcoming those ready to take steps toward greater resilience, clarity, and well-being.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Remote Care

Judy integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) into her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change reactions and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes values-based living and mindfulness strategies to increase psychological flexibility and help clients move forward despite difficult feelings.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. Judy will explore each client's needs, preferences, and goals and adapt methods over time so that the work feels useful and relevant. Clients are invited to participate actively in shaping the plan, with therapeutic tools introduced at a pace that fits their situation.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for differing schedules and comfort levels. This variety allows clients to access care from home, continue work between meetings through messaging, and choose the format that supports consistent progress.
