About Judith
Judith Guezen is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 31 years of practice as a therapist and counselor. She has spent decades helping adults who face mood disorders, relationship strain, and attention challenges. Her work often addresses depression, bipolar disorder, anger, ADHD, and relationship concerns.
Over her career she has supported people dealing with trauma, emotional abuse, and complex medical or caregiving stress. She has also worked with clients affected by adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family concerns, body image, cancer, chronic pain and illness, co-morbidity, codependency, commitment and control issues, communication problems, and coping after natural or human-caused disaster.
Judith describes a direct, interactive style that combines guidance with challenge. Conversations are practical and focused on change. She uses approaches drawn from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive methods to guide those conversations.
In sessions Judith helps people clarify what matters to them and tests different ways of handling problems. She pays attention to patterns that keep difficulties repeating and works with clients to try new behaviors and ways of thinking. Sessions look at current issues and how past experiences shape reactions.
People who come to her often want steady, experienced support while they sort out work, parenting, health, or relationship changes. To begin, clients complete an online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Judith draws on cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic techniques as core tools. Cognitive-behavioral work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and reactions. Psychodynamic ideas look at long-standing patterns and past experiences that shape current relationships and feelings.She also integrates humanistic and rational-emotive elements to address values, emotional expression, and disputing rigid beliefs. Humanistic elements center on understanding how a person's goals and values matter to day-to-day choices. Rational-emotive techniques help challenge absolute or extreme thinking that fuels anger, depression, or relationship conflict.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss different methods and try options that match the client's concerns, goals, and preferences. This process is flexible; methods may shift as needs change over time.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since the original profile does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when a full hour isn't practical, and reduce travel time. It can also make sessions possible when health or caregiving demands make leaving home difficult. Conversations and practical exercises used in her in-person work adapt to remote formats, subject to which options are offered.
