I am Judy Slobig, a licensed clinical social worker in Washington, D.C. with over 40 years of professional experience. I have a Ph.D. in multicultural studies, and master’s degrees in social work and urban studies. I have worked as an educator, community organizer, mediator, trainer, and social worker in the inner cities of Chicago, Milwaukee, and Washington, D.C. I have been trained in Solution Focused Brief Therapy. I work with adults, adolescents, children, and families in the areas of: crisis response intervention to disaster-struck communities, conflict resolution and mediation, refugee support, communication strategies, death and dying, AIDS and catastrophic illness counseling, anxiety and depression, relationship issues, chemical dependency, foster care, adoption, mental and physical challenges, and physical abuse and neglect. In addition, I have lived and worked in Montenegro, Kosovo, Macedonia, Serbia, Iran, Sudan, Ukraine, Russia, Indonesia, Cambodia, India, Puerto Rico, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, South Africa, Tanzania, and Haiti in organizational, community, and individual initiatives. I have been a mental health volunteer for the American Red Cross for over 25 years in numerous national disasters, including the 9/11 response at the Pentagon and NYC. I trained at the Center of Excellence in Disaster Management & Humanitarian Assistance at the Bethesda Naval Center in Maryland, at the Critical Incident Stress Foundation in Baltimore, and at the Columbia University Public Health in Complex Emergencies in Neum, Bosnia. I have advanced certification in international psychosocial responses to disaster and humanitarian emergencies. I was a recipient of President Obama’s Volunteer Service Award in 2011. I look forward to working with you. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety and depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a 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.

Judy is a wonderful soul who helped me immensely during a difficult time
Judy was able to discern how I might better approach a problematic family situation, and this was revelatory and useful for me.
Judy is an absolute joy to chat with. She wholeheartedly cares about helping you in any and every way she can. She is an amazing listener and has helpful advice. Thank you for all you do, Judy!
Judy is tremendous. Supportive, friendly, knowledgeable and professional. She's helped me through a very difficult time in my life and I'll always be greatful to her.
Judy has good ideas for me to follow and she's very understanding.
I have met with Judy several times so far and it has been a great experience! She listened carefully to my priorities for therapy and has offered me excellent things to try. I have seen a lot of progress so far and couldn’t be more pleased! It is also really nice how she takes notes and asks me specific follow up questions each time we meet. :)
I am 80 years old and I wanted someone who had life experiences similar to mine. A therapist who would be able to help me has to understand what it’s like to be an “old lady.” The fact that Judy has international experience as well is definitely an added bonus for me.
Judy is a professional who is warm, caring and a wonderful listener. She supported me through a difficult and challenging time in my life. I am eternally grateful for her support. I called her an angel as she helped me when I was hopeless. I highly recommend Judy.
Amazing experience, recommend having a therapist like Judy. She had some really great tips for me and she helped me find a happy outcome.
Judy is amazing, she truly changed my life in only two sessions of meeting her. Anyone is lucky to be able to work with her!
Judy is amazing! We had only one session, but I felt a lot of support and inspiration. She has very warm vibes and it is just a pleasure to work with her. Thank you, Judy!
Thank you, Judy!
