As someone who believes in the healing power of creativity, I often say, “Music doesn’t eliminate the storm, but it gives us rhythm while we walk through it".
I am a licensed professional counselor of mental health (LPCMH) with 7 years of experience supporting older teens and adults. I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and challenges related to forensic system involvement. Many of my clients are seeking relief from overwhelming emotions, healthier relationships, and practical tools to manage life’s waves.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Slippery Rock University. My approach is client-centered and flexible, integrating cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to build coping skills, regulate emotions, and process pain in a collaborative and individualized way.
Healing is hard work, but you do not have to do it alone. I bring warmth, humor, and authenticity into our sessions, so growth feels supportive, not intimidating. If you are ready to begin—or even just considering it—I invite you to take the next step and schedule an appointment.

I have experienced significant personal losses throughout most of my adult lifespan, which has influenced me as an empathetic and understanding therapist while helping others who are looking to understand their own emotional pain, whether the loss is recent or from their past
My name is Judith Pantalino, and I've gone by Judy since childhood. I earned my MS in Community Counseling from Wilmington University in May 2013 and am licensed as a Mental Health Therapist in Delaware. I work with clients experiencing anxiety and depressive symptoms due to grief and loss—most often through the death of a loved one. My bereavement clients are often navigating loneliness for the first time in their lives, whether they've lost a spouse of many decades or a child at any age. This type of healing tends to be a long-term emotional recuperation with weekly therapy sessions.
I begin the therapeutic process using person-centered therapy. I like to add onto this process with CBT. It is a collaborative process between the client and therapist together and is helpful in identifying and changing negative thoughts and behaviors. These thoughts and behaviors can be the cause of your anxiety, stress and/or depressive thoughts.
I believe in you as you make your first step towards a more peaceful life. Each step matters as you progress in your well-being. My goal is to walk alongside you as you gain confidence and move toward this peaceful life. I hope you'll take the next step and schedule a session where we can work together as you heal and grow.

At Thriveworks, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a widely recognized and evidence-based form of psychotherapy or talk therapy. It focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors that can contribute to various mental health issues or challenges that people are struggling with.
Cognitive behavioral therapists specialize in Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and can help you to identify and comprehend your thought patterns, which often encompass automatic negative thoughts, cognitive distortions, and self-defeating beliefs. Once these negative thought patterns are pinpointed, cognitive behavioral therapists aim to challenge and replace them with the objective of fostering more constructive and logical thinking. In addition, these therapists place significant emphasis on implementing positive behavioral changes based on the newly established, healthier thought patterns.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is particularly effective for addressing conditions like anxiety disorders, depression, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. It focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors, making it well-suited for issues related to distorted thinking and emotional regulation.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
The success rate of CBT varies depending on the intentions of the client and their condition(s).
The selection between cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is based on an individual’s unique needs and challenges. CBT is commonly chosen for addressing conditions such as anxiety and depression, whereas DBT is especially beneficial for individuals dealing with borderline personality disorder, emotional regulation issues, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with our Thriveworks therapists in , DE is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Generally, CBT is considered a short-term therapy, typically lasting for about 12 to 20 weekly sessions. In some cases, it might extend to around 16 to 20 sessions for more complex issues.
