Judith Guezen , LMSW

Judith Guezen is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 31 years of experience as a therapist and counselor. She has extensive experience helping people navigate depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, anger, relationship challenges, and the complexities that often accompany life transitions. Her practice also addresses adoption and foster care issues, aging and geriatric concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication and commitment issues, and related areas of co-morbidity and control problems.

Her therapeutic approach is warm and interactive, blending cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive techniques to create individualized treatment plans. She treats each person with respect and sensitivity and avoids defining clients by diagnostic labels. Judith focuses on tailoring conversations and interventions to the unique needs and goals of each client, offering direct support while also encouraging growth and change.

Seeking therapy can be a courageous first step, and Judith aims to support and empower people as they work toward meaningful improvements in their lives. She is currently accepting clients in Michigan and offers multiple ways to connect for care.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Judith integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - this approach is often helpful for depression, anxiety, ADHD, and problem-focused concerns. She also employs humanistic methods that emphasize empathy, respect, and the client's own capacity for growth - useful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and life transitions. In addition, rational-emotive strategies address rigid beliefs and emotional responses, supporting clients who struggle with anger, perfectionism, or chronic negative self-talk.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Judith collaborates with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts methods over time to find the best fit. This collaborative process helps ensure interventions are practical and aligned with the client’s priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so clients can receive care from home or other convenient locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around schedules, mobility limitations, or geographic constraints while working with a licensed professional and an experienced therapist like Judith.
