About Judeann
Judeann Colasante-Spaide helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood shifts, addiction, grief, or painful life changes. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and draws on 20 years of experience. Her approach is straightforward and practical.
She aims to create a calm space where clients can speak honestly and be heard. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on how thoughts shape feelings and actions. In sessions she helps clients notice unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and practice small changes that add up.
How Judeann works
Judeann explains ideas in plain language and works at a steady, practical pace. Clients can bring concerns like depression, bipolar symptoms, anger, trauma and abuse, ADHD, family conflict, self-esteem struggles, addictions, or coping with life transitions. Sessions focus on learning tools that can be used between meetings.
Judeann supports step-by-step progress rather than sudden fixes. She holds LCSW credentials in New York and New Jersey and has worked in clinical settings for two decades. That background informs a pragmatic style and a calm presence in sessions.
Judeann encourages people to take the first step and is available to guide them through it. Her work centers on collaboration. She and the client set goals together, track small wins, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
The emphasis is on realistic, doable changes that fit the person’s life.

How Judeann uses CBT online and what to expect
Judeann commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online sessions. CBT looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior, and helps people test and change unhelpful thinking. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing mood or behavior patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Judeann will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose strategies and adjust them over time so the plan fits the person’s life and needs.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and more direct interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins or for people who want written notes of their progress. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily routines.
