About Judith
Judith Schwartz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 13 years of experience. She works with adults facing addictions, grief and loss, low self-esteem, changes in life circumstances, and people seeking coaching around direction and motivation.
She frames clients as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. In conversation she helps people name what feels stuck and find small steps that feel manageable. Sessions tend to focus on practical strategies for coping and on clarifying priorities after big changes.
Judith has worked across a range of concerns related to relationships and personal history. She addresses abandonment and attachment issues, family of origin patterns, communication problems, codependency, and the stress that comes from caregiving. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, infidelity, and the loneliness that follows separation or major loss.
Her work includes support for drug and alcohol addiction and co-morbidity when problems overlap. She helps people explore life purpose and direction when careers, relationships, or health shifts prompt questions about what comes next. The focus is on practical coping, decision points, and building routines that support clearer choices.
Judith offers sessions in English and practices in New Jersey. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment to discuss goals and next steps.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Judith draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One approach commonly used is behavioral work that helps people build new routines and coping skills; this is useful for addictions, managing grief, and improving day-to-day functioning. Another approach emphasizes exploring attachment and family of origin patterns to understand recurring relationship problems and codependency, helping people notice old patterns and try different responses.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Judith collaborates with each person to identify which techniques match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in about what is working and adjusts strategies as progress and challenges arise.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Ask about the available online options when you schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed, and some formats may be simpler for lower bandwidth or for meeting without being on camera.
