Josette Prisk, LCSW

Josette Prisk is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people cope after trauma and abuse, and manage stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. She brings a calm, steady presence and focuses on creating a welcoming space where people can talk about hard experiences. Josette aims to support practical changes that clients can try between sessions.

With 12 years of experience, Josette uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on attachment-based work to address relationship patterns and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people name and work with intense feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used to teach skills for managing anxiety, panic, and overwhelming mood states.

In sessions she emphasizes clear goals and simple strategies that fit daily life. Conversations include identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing new ways to respond to triggers, and building coping skills for stress and anger. She also helps people struggling with issues like abandonment, codependency, isolation, and guilt.

Josette holds LCSW credentials and is licensed in Kentucky and North Carolina. She combines practical skill-building with a supportive approach that respects each person’s pace. If someone wants focused work on trauma, emotional regulation, or relationship patterns, she helps them map out steps forward.

To begin, potential clients are invited to describe their main concern and what they hope to change. The focus is on steady progress and usable tools that make everyday life feel more manageable.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns and try new ways of connecting in everyday life. Client-centered therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities, so the therapist follows what matters most and helps people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches concrete steps to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and temperament. That decision can change over time as needs and progress become clearer.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make attending sessions easier to fit into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to practice skills between appointments in the settings where people live their daily lives, and to use exercises that fit into a client’s routine.
