About Josette
Josette Prisk meets people who are worn down by anxiety, stress, or past trauma and helps them find steadier ground. She is a Kentucky-licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience and a straightforward style that focuses on practical steps. Josette aims to make sessions feel calm and nonjudgmental so people can speak freely about painful or confusing things.
She uses talking, skill practice, and gentle feedback to help people manage intense feelings.
How Josette works
Josette draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect current struggles. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. Her work often addresses issues such as trauma and abuse, panic, mood and personality challenges, shame, anger, and feelings of isolation.
She helps people build coping tools and tolerate difficult emotions until things feel more manageable. Sessions also cover life transitions and compassion fatigue when stress from caregiving or work becomes overwhelming. Josette prioritizes a collaborative approach.
She listens first, then suggests practical exercises or skills to try between sessions. Progress is measured in concrete changes like fewer panic episodes, clearer boundaries, or better ways to handle conflict and guilt. Sessions are offered in English and are scheduled from her Kentucky practice.
She holds LCSW credentials in Kentucky and North Carolina and brings a mix of relational and skills-based work to each client’s goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online healing
Josette often draws from attachment-based work to examine how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and expectations. This approach helps when trust, abandonment fears, or close-relationship patterns are causing pain and confusion.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change thinking patterns that feed anxiety or panic, and to practice small behavior changes that reduce distress. CBT is useful for panic attacks, mood shifts, and unhelpful coping habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist listens to your goals and suggests methods that fit your needs and comfort. Clients and therapist check in regularly and adjust techniques as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat or text can be used for shorter check-ins, skill reinforcement, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep consistent progress.
