About Judea
Judea Castillo Winter is a licensed clinical social worker who centers sessions on the person in front of her. She blends humanistic ideas with practical tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and relationship concerns. Her approach aims to draw out each person's strengths so they can move toward clearer goals and better day-to-day functioning.
Judea holds a master’s degree in social work and has twelve years of experience in the field.
Background and approach
She has supported people facing trauma and abuse, eating and food-related issues, intimacy concerns, bipolar disorder, and life transitions like divorce or career change. She also helps with caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and workplace difficulties. In sessions she uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy.
Judea also incorporates mindfulness and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) approaches when they fit a person’s needs. She favors a collaborative stance, helping people name problems and try practical strategies between meetings. Her work emphasizes plain language and concrete steps.
Judea helps clients identify strengths, set realistic goals, and build skills for coping and emotional regulation. She frames therapy as a team effort where the client’s experience guides the process. Judea practices in Ohio as a LCSW and LISW and conducts sessions in English.
Her style is direct but warm, aimed at helping people feel safer talking about hard things and making steady progress toward what matters to them.

Online support
How Judea’s approaches translate to online care
Judea uses client-centered work to focus on what matters most to each person. This approach means sessions start by listening and building goals together. It helps when someone needs to feel heard and to shape a plan based on their own strengths.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT provides practical exercises and step-by-step strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR is another method she incorporates when appropriate; it involves guided processing of traumatic memories to reduce their emotional charge and support healing.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Judea will discuss options and try methods that match a person's goals and comfort level. The plan can change over time as needs evolve, and she collaborates with each person to pick what feels most helpful.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone visits, live chat, and text messaging. Video is useful for deeper work and real-time interaction, while phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are handy for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules.
