Judith Huerta, LICSW

Judith Huerta is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. She centers therapy on each person's story and strengths, helping them take the first steps toward less stress and more satisfaction in daily life.

Judith works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family conflicts, and issues around intimacy. She also helps with addictions, grief, sleep and eating concerns, and challenges related to ADHD and caregiver stress. Her approach is straightforward and focused on what works for the individual.

With 16 years of professional experience, Judith draws on several clinical approaches to match what a person needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships. She also uses client-centered methods to keep the person’s own goals central, and cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Judith encourages a collaborative process. She listens, helps people identify small changes that make a difference, and supports practical skill-building. She aims to create a space where people can talk through difficult topics and try new ways of coping.

People often come to Judith for help with intimacy-related issues, communication problems, abandonment or attachment concerns, and the strain of caregiving. She emphasizes steady progress and respects each person’s pace as they work toward clearer goals.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and reactions. Online or in-person, it helps people notice patterns in close relationships and try different ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead so goals come from what matters most to them; this approach supports working at the client's pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with practical skills for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Judith will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques as therapy progresses, checking in together about what feels useful and what to change.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also gives flexibility for scheduling around work, childcare, or caregiver duties. If you want to explore how one of these approaches might work for you online, mention that in the matching questionnaire and schedule a time to discuss it.
