About Judy
Judy Hunt is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 27 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and people coping with life changes. She also addresses concerns such as chronic pain, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, and mood or panic symptoms.
Judy uses practical conversations to help people sort through what’s causing distress. She adapts the way she talks and plans sessions to reflect each person’s situation and goals. Her style centers on clear steps and realistic options rather than abstract explanations.
In sessions she pays attention to how past events and current habits feed into ongoing shame or persistent guilt. She helps people identify patterns and consider small changes that can reduce overwhelm. When substance use, anxiety, or trauma are involved, she brings a steady, task-focused approach to managing symptoms and making decisions.
With long experience in clinical settings, Judy knows how to help people who feel stuck after major life changes or during midlife transitions. She works with practical problems as well as the emotions that accompany them. Conversations often include problem-solving, communication skills, and ways to handle painful memories or flashbacks.
People who want to start are invited to describe what’s most pressing and how it shows up day to day. Judy asks questions, listens for patterns, and helps outline next steps that fit the person’s life and schedule.
Evidence-based techniques and online sessions
Judy works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and structured conversation. One common approach is cognitive-based work that looks at unhelpful thoughts and how they affect feelings and behavior; this helps with anxiety, panic, and persistent guilt by identifying thought patterns and testing them in daily life.Another frequently used method is trauma-informed care that pays attention to how past harms shape current reactions. This involves grounding strategies, pacing exposure to difficult memories, and building ways to manage overwhelming emotions so daily tasks become more manageable.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Judy will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques match their goals and preferences. She asks about what has and hasn’t helped before and adjusts the plan as progress is reviewed.
