About Josette

Josette Prisk is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people navigate trauma, stress, anxiety, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

With 12 years of clinical experience, she supports individuals struggling with mood challenges, anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and post-traumatic stress, as well as a range of personality-related concerns such as avoidant or dependent patterns and issues around attachment and codependency.

She draws on evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered techniques to tailor care to each person’s needs. Her approach emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and build practical skills for coping and change.

Josette frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at empowerment, helping clients take steps toward more fulfilling and manageable lives. Licensed in both Kentucky and North Carolina, she blends practical skill-building with attention to relational patterns and emotional regulation.

Her work balances empathy and structure to support people as they process past hurt, reduce distressing symptoms, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Josette often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new behavioral skills; CBT can be useful for anxiety, panic, and mood-related problems by focusing on clear strategies and homework between sessions. She also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship experiences shape current emotional responses and interpersonal patterns, which can be helpful for issues like abandonment, codependency, and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, values, and preferences. That collaborative stance means techniques may be blended and adjusted over time based on what helps the client make progress and feel understood.

Online therapy with Josette is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats let clients engage from different locations and choose the mode of communication that fits their schedule and comfort, while still accessing structured skill-building, emotional exploration, and relational work with a licensed professional.
