Hi, I am Judy. I am so excited about the opportunity to support you here on betterhelp. I have worked as a therapist for over 23 years with experience in individual and family therapy. I have experience working in the mental health field. I have worked in a broad range of clinical issues. I have the most experience working with anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anger management, family conflict, relationship conflicts, and complex trauma/abuse. I also have experience working with depression, intellectual/developmental disabilities, mild autism, and substance abuse issues.
I use a person-centered, holistic, eclectic approach in treatment, meaning I begin where you are and focus the treatment approached to your needs while ensuring the therapeutic relationship is built to impact the best possible outcome for your counseling experience. I primarily use evidence based techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused counseling. However, I do incorporate more other approaches to counseling as well. I would describe my counseling approach client focused and supportive, but I am ready to help you tackle the obstacles you face in the most direct way possible. Together we can work on establishing goals and steps for you to help overcome your current problems. Living your best life is like preparing for a marathon, not a sprint. If you are looking for quick fixes, I am not the best counselor to work with. I believe in taking time and working on wellness slowly, holistically, and consistently. Just as physical health takes time and consistency, so does mental health! I look forward to helping you in any way I can!
I truly value the therapeutic relationship and hope to help guide you through the concerns and issues that you are facing. I believe that the most important part of therapy is a trusting relationship with a goal oriented focus I look forward to getting to know you and exploring options and opportunities together.

Sheaves me feel heard and is very supportive, I just haven't experienced receiving tools and guidance with what I'm dealing with like I expect to. I feel like I'm venting and getting someone to hear me but not really digging deeper or being giving new practices that would help me.

Judy has helped my navigate my ADHD, anxiety and self confidence immensely in the past three months. Her nurturing and kind approach makes her very easy to talk to, and her solutions and guidance have helped me tackle obstacles at work and at home. Judy’s way of speaking about anxiety and our work to improve my anxious thoughts have changed the game for me.

Judy is so helpful! She has such a loving and kind presence and I feel so comfortable sharing my needs and concerns with her. I feel like I have grown so much already with the short time that I've had with her and I cannot wait to see how much my perspective will continue to shift and change the more I work with her. I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you for all you do Judy! :)

Judy is wonderful at what she does!
She has been kind, caring, understanding and truly supportive, while helping me to navigate through so many things during a very challenging year of my life. Since beginning therapy with her, I feel so much better prepared to take on any new issues that arise while also working to process/move forward from the past.
I am incredibly thankful for all of the guidance I have received from Judy over the past few months, and I can’t wait to see the continued growth showing up for myself in therapy will bring.

My experience with Ms McLaughlin has been really good. She’s very encouraging and helpful. She does good with guiding me in the right directions and with helping me come up with ways to try to improve my life and to try to resolve different conflicts that come up. I’d definitely recommend if you have past traumas or even a personality disorder.

Since I have started talking with Judy she has helped me in so many ways. She makes me feel very comfortable talking about myself and sharing my thoughts without judgement. She is thoughtful and gives me great exercises to help me think through problems and understand myself better.
