About Judith
Judith Schwartz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey who helps people facing addictions, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She emphasizes a practical, strengths-based approach and speaks in a straightforward way so clients can focus on progress rather than jargon. She believes each person knows their story best and brings their own strengths to the work.
Judith encourages small, steady steps and supports clients as they try new ways of coping.
How Judith works
She acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and affirms that decision. Over 13 years of practice, Judith has worked with people struggling with substance use, loss, and patterns that sap confidence. She also addresses issues around abandonment, attachment, codependency, and family of origin concerns.
Her experience includes helping people navigate divorce, infidelity, caregiver stress, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Judith blends practical coaching with therapeutic conversations to help people build clear goals and everyday strategies. Sessions focus on improving communication, setting boundaries, and strengthening self-worth.
She aims to make the work useful and relevant to daily life. Therapy is offered in English from New Jersey, and Judith uses a range of formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time and fees vary by location and therapist availability.

Online support options
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Judith uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear goals and practical skills. One common approach emphasizes building coping skills for addiction and cravings by identifying triggers and practicing new responses; this helps people manage urges and regain a sense of control. Another approach targets grief and self-esteem by helping people process loss, name emotions, and rebuild routines that support confidence and purpose.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Judith works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors strategies that fit daily life. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods as progress or challenges emerge so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video visits allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on steady, practical change.
