About Judy
LMFT (Florida), 35 years of experience. Judy Couwels helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, and many life transitions. She also supports people facing parenting questions, intimacy and sexual concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem struggles, career stress, bipolar management, compassion fatigue, and first responder issues. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices from Florida.
Judy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a primary method. She focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, and on trying practical ways to change them. Conversations are collaborative and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on learning skills that can be used between sessions.
Her approach treats the person as the expert on their experience. Judy listens for strengths and past successes, then looks for small, concrete steps forward. She frames change as a series of actions people can try, review, and adapt rather than as a one-time solution.
Over 35 years she has worked with a wide range of concerns and life stages. That experience informs straightforward strategies for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning. People can expect clear, practical work aimed at noticeable, manageable changes.

Using CBT approaches in online sessions
CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice it means noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, testing those thoughts, and practicing alternative behaviors. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems.The work can also include skill-building for managing emotions, sleep, and relationships. That looks like setting small experiments, learning new coping strategies, and reviewing progress together. The therapist and client decide together which strategies to try and when to adjust them.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Judy will collaborate with each person to choose and adapt techniques based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She draws on experience to recommend practical steps and then checks in to see what is working.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time.
