About Josette

Josette Prisk is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and trauma. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Josette encourages small steps and practical strategies so clients can feel steadier in daily life.

With 12 years in practice she draws on several therapy approaches when working with clients. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that feed anger and stress, and on building skills to respond differently. Conversations cover emotions, relationships, and the everyday moments that trigger strong reactions.

Josette aims to create a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be said out loud. She works collaboratively to set goals and try strategies that fit each person’s life and pace. The work often includes learning breathing and grounding skills, testing new ways of talking to others, and practicing changes between sessions.

Her background includes practice in Kentucky and licensing in North Carolina and Kentucky as an LCSW, which she uses to inform a grounded approach to care. She helps people facing compassion fatigue, self-esteem struggles, mood problems, and post-traumatic stress alongside anger and anxiety.

Clients can expect steady, practical support aimed at clearer thinking and more manageable days. Josette encourages honest check-ins about what’s working and what needs to change so therapy stays useful and relevant.

How her approaches shape online work

Josette uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current reactions. This approach helps people spot repeating patterns in close relationships and try new, healthier ways of relating. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, anger, and panic symptoms.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Josette will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She adapts methods over time so sessions stay relevant and practical rather than fixed to one model.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing quick check-ins during a lunch break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that feels difficult. These practical benefits can help people maintain consistency and apply new skills between sessions.
