More about me

Licensing: LMFT, ACHT Years in Practice: 28 State: New York

I hold a master's degree in marriage and family counseling and am a New York State licensed marriage and family therapist. I received my degree in 1996 and have guided many families, couples, and individuals to better relationships. I hold advanced certification in Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy through the Wellness Institute in Issaquah, WA, which has helped me identify and heal my own issues and, therefore, become a better therapist. I have had many personal growth experiences that have molded me into the person I am today, as well as making me a more empathetic therapist. I believe I needed to work through my own issues in order to give my best to you.

My treatment specializations include help with depression and anxiety, couples counseling, family counseling, parenting support, grief counseling, stress management, family members of addicts, conflict resolution. My approach is a mixture of Family Systems techniques, Strategic techniques, and Solution-Focused counseling. I personalize my approach so it is tailored to your individual needs to help you attain the personal growth you are striving for. I assign homework if it seems appropriate to help you achieve clarity about a problem. I truly believe the answer lies within you and my role is to guide you to find it. I work at your pace whenever possible but will push if it seems like you are stuck.

I understand how difficult it can be to seek help and know that it takes courage to work toward a more fulfilling life. You have already taken the first step by reaching out for help and I am here to support and empower you as you move forward. I look forward to getting to know you on your journey!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Very please with Judith. She's wise, caring & supportive

Judith has helped me work through a lot of things. I’m a much happier healthier person because of the work we’ve done.

She is great

Very caring individual. There are similarities to our lives & she understands what I'm feeling.

Judith has been tremendously helpful throughout my time with her. Never overbearing, she knows when to listen, when to ask the right questions, and when to offer clear and concise advice. Several times she has transformed my perspective on an issue with just a few short words. I am noticeably happier with my life and work, and feel that I now have the tools to approach difficult situations.

Judith Lathrop is an exceptional therapist, and I am grateful for the opportunity to work with her. Despite being my first time taking online therapy, I found that it was no different than in-person therapy. Judith is so skilled at what she does that I have actually had more contact with her than I did with my previous in-person therapist. She is a great listener and provides insightful advice that I highly trust when it comes to my conversations with her. She creates a safe and empowering space for me to work through whatever life throws at me. I have found that I am able to trust her and the therapy process completely. I highly recommend working with Judith to anyone who is seeking a compassionate, knowledgeable, and skilled therapist. Trust her, trust the process, and you will make great memories with her while working on improving your mental health.

Great first session

Judith is an amazing person. She listens and gives you ways of handling whatever you're going through

Judith is very good at suggesting ways to alter my mood and manage my depression while being confronted with many stressors. We primarily speak through a video session which is good for me because I can schedule it after my kids go to bed, something you can't normally do with anyone with office hours. It's great because I don't need to hire a babysitter, or change my family's schedule. I would recommend Judith she's awesome!

I know I am not were I want to be but I am confident Judith will help me to achieve that.

Judith has been very attentive. I appreciate the way she reaches out when I haven't. In doing so, she has established a trusting relationship because I can see she is taking counseling with me seriously. I don't feel like just an anonymous face just because it's an online relationship.

Judith was very insightful & helpful, asking the right questions to provide and bring about solutions. She was never forceful in her approach, only encouraging. I would welcome working with her again.
