Josette Prisk, LCSW

Josette Prisk is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing trauma, anxiety, mood struggles, and life changes. She brings 12 years of experience and a calm, direct approach to sessions. Josette aims to create a space where people can talk about painful experiences and begin rebuilding confidence and day-to-day coping skills.

Her work often focuses on trauma and abuse, stress, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with attachment issues, codependency, panic symptoms, and a range of personality-related concerns. Josette listens for what matters most to each person and helps set clear goals for therapy.

Josette uses a mix of approaches to match a person’s needs, including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotion-focused ideas. She draws on skills from dialectical behavior therapy when people need help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Sessions emphasize practical strategies people can use between meetings.

Her background includes practice in Kentucky and North Carolina and a focus on helping people move from survival to more sustainable coping. She encourages small, manageable steps and helps people notice progress along the way.

People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation, prioritized goals, and tools for handling hard moments. Josette works with each person at their own pace and adjusts her approach as needs change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Josette uses client-centered methods that focus on listening closely and shaping sessions around what the person needs. This approach helps people feel heard and sets the pace for work on their goals.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, panic, mood symptoms, and managing stress with clear, step-by-step exercises.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose or blend methods based on their goals, symptoms, and what feels most helpful. Plans are adjusted as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Different meeting formats can also help when visual attention or bandwidth is a concern, but check what formats this therapist offers before you schedule.
