About Josette
Josette Prisk is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing trauma, anxiety, depression, and codependency. She has 12 years of experience and aims to make sessions feel approachable and practical. Josette focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and rebuild healthier patterns in daily life.
She draws on several therapy styles to match each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear goals, learning skills to handle stress, and noticing patterns that keep problems repeating. Josette emphasizes honest conversation and steady steps rather than quick fixes.
Her background includes work with people who have personality-related concerns, panic attacks, and symptoms following trauma. She uses tools from cognitive-behavioral approaches to address thought patterns and from emotion-focused work to help process painful experiences. Mindfulness and skills-based strategies are used to manage intense feelings.
In a typical meeting, Josette listens first and then suggests small, practical steps to try between sessions. She helps people practice new ways of coping and checks in on what is working. The goal is to build confidence in handling life changes and to reduce isolation and shame.
Josette is licensed to practice in Kentucky and North Carolina as an LCSW. If someone is considering starting, she asks a few questions up front to match on goals and then sets a plan together that fits the person's life.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early relationships shape current reactions and closeness. It focuses on noticing patterns in relationships and building safer, steadier ways of relating to others, which can ease feelings of abandonment and codependency.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and values. The therapist follows the person's lead, listens closely, and reflects what is said so the person can clarify feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to change them, which helps with anxiety, panic, and mood shifts.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Josette will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit their needs, and adjust tactics based on what helps. This shared process aims to find methods that feel useful and manageable.
For practical matters, confirm which session formats are offered before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that focused skill practice and regular check-ins work well through remote appointments, and Josette adapts techniques so they can be used between meetings in everyday life.
