About Judith
Dr. Judith Josiah-Martin is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of practice in Maine. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career shifts, and compassion fatigue.
She emphasizes straightforward support and practical steps for daily life. Her work often addresses attachment issues, feelings of emptiness, family of origin struggles, and problems with communication and commitment. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, aging concerns, immigration-related challenges, and substance use issues.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what feels most urgent to the person in front of her. Dr. Josiah-Martin blends Attachment-Based Therapy with approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, and mindfulness.
That mix helps people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and build steadier relationships with themselves and others. She prefers simple language and collaborative planning rather than technical terms. Her style is warm, direct, and respectful.
She listens for strengths and helps set small, doable goals. Conversations often include practical tools for stress, exercises to shift unhelpful thinking, and attention to how early relationships affect current patterns. People come to her for short-term coaching around career or stress and for longer-term work on attachment and self-worth.
She welcomes diverse backgrounds and works with the concerns each person brings, helping them make gradual, sustainable changes.

Online support
How her approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional reactions; online sessions let people name those patterns and try new ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, stress, and career decisions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience, with the therapist offering empathy and support so people can find their own solutions.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust as progress and preferences become clearer. That collaborative process helps decide whether attachment-focused work, ACT, or client-centered techniques make the most sense.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be lower-bandwidth and easier during a busy day. Chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while maintaining a steady course of treatment.
