About Judith
Judith Huerta is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with 16 years of practice. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and related concerns. Judith also supports people dealing with depression, addiction, grief, intimacy and self-esteem struggles.
She describes clients as the experts on their own stories and focuses on building on existing strengths. Sessions are practical and conversational. Judith aims to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and track what helps.
Her work often addresses attachment and abandonment wounds that affect relationships. She uses approaches like attachment-based work, client-centered conversations, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, and EMDR for trauma. These methods get applied to issues such as communication problems, codependency, commitment anxiety, and family of origin concerns.
People also bring concerns about parenting stress, caregiver burdens, first responder strain, and substance use. Judith has experience with eating and sleeping difficulties, hoarding, and problems that connect to guilt, shame, or forgiveness. She supports clients from the LGBT community and those navigating ADHD-related challenges.
Judith keeps sessions straightforward and focused on real-life goals. She helps people translate talk into habits that fit day-to-day life. To start, she invites individuals to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Judith brings therapy approaches into online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current connections. It looks at patterns of closeness and distance and helps people understand how past wounds affect present relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings and actions into clear links. It helps with anxiety, depression, and making small, practical changes to daily routines. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for trauma processing and can reduce distress tied to traumatic memories through structured bilateral stimulation and guided recall.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Judith will talk with clients about their goals, symptoms, and what methods feel most useful. She partners with each person to try approaches and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process guides whether more skills-based work, relational focus, or trauma processing is the better path.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, require less travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins on a work break. They also let people use video, phone, or other agreed methods if those are supported, which can help match the session to practical needs and daily rhythms.
