About Judea
Judea Castillo Winter uses a humanistic, strength-based approach in her work. She introduces therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s own knowledge and values guide change. Judea holds a Master of Social Work and brings 12 years of experience to her practice as an LCSW and LISW.
She practices from Ohio and offers sessions in English. She blends client-centered care with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness.
How Judea works
That means sessions often start by listening closely, then moving to small, doable steps that help reduce anxiety, manage stress, or change unhelpful patterns. Judea also integrates DBT skills and EMDR when trauma or intense emotions are present.
Her areas of focus include stress and anxiety, addictions, grief, career concerns, depression, LGBT issues, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, eating and self-esteem issues, bipolar, and coping with life changes. Additional interests include aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, domestic violence, forgiveness, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and workplace issues.
In sessions she balances listening with practical coaching. Conversations can explore feelings, then shift to skills practice, goal setting, or behavior changes to try between meetings. Judea aims to help people notice small improvements and build on them over time.
She asks clients to be located in Ohio for services and conducts sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Cost varies with location and therapist availability and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How Judea’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client’s experience. It helps people feel heard and guides them to draw on their own strengths to solve problems. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns that contribute to anxiety or depression.Judea uses these approaches collaboratively. She will talk with each person about goals, try different tools, and adjust the plan based on what fits best. Deciding which methods to use is a team effort that balances the client’s needs, goals, and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls are useful for a full-session conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth or easier when movement is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or follow-up between full sessions. These options let people fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping regular contact with a licensed professional.
