Online sessions and therapeutic approach
Judith Durdan delivers mental health care through remote formats that include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. In online work she prioritizes a collaborative planning process so that the treatment approach matches what a person hopes to address and the pace they prefer.She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior and to introduce practical skills clients can try between sessions. In remote meetings CBT can be applied through guided conversation, reflective exercises, and short behavioral experiments that are agreed upon ahead of time.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy also inform her remote practice. ACT is framed around clarifying values and taking value-aligned actions while learning to notice internal experience. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s lead so that goals and next steps evolve from what matters most to the person. These approaches are adapted to work across video, phone, live chat, or messaging formats depending on the client’s preference.
