About Judy

Dr. Judy Ricci brings a clinical, evidence-based approach to therapy grounded in cognitive behavioral methods and complemented by mindfulness and acceptance strategies.

Background and approach

She holds licensure as a psychologist in Virginia and New York and has seven years of clinical experience working with people facing anxiety, depression, and health-related challenges. Her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology supports a methodical, research-informed practice that focuses on practical skills and meaningful behavior change.

Dr. Ricci commonly helps clients address a wide range of concerns including stress, addictions, ADHD, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and eating difficulties, and coping with chronic illness or cancer.

She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when useful, matching techniques to a person's goals and life circumstances. Sessions emphasize present-focused strategies, values-based action, and tools to manage mood and daily functioning while also attending to longer-term patterns and coping skills.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Dr. Ricci commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide remote work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values-driven action and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while moving toward meaningful goals, which can help with chronic health issues and persistent mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. Sessions begin with an exploration of current challenges, goals, and preferences, and techniques are adjusted over time so the work aligns with the client's needs and priorities.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, medical appointments, or life transitions, while allowing clients to practice skills between sessions and receive timely support from licensed professionals.
