Joselyn Spence , LPC, LMHC

Joselyn Spence approaches therapy as a collaborative journey, offering empathetic support to people navigating both life’s joys and its challenges. She combines a person-centered, trauma-informed stance with integrative techniques to meet each client where they are and support meaningful change.

Spence is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Registered Art Therapist (ATR). She holds a master’s degree in Art Therapy and Professional Counseling as well as a Master of Divinity. As an LPC, she provides professional counseling services; as an ATR, she brings creative and expressive methods into clinical work. She is also a registered yoga and meditation teacher (RYT-500), and often weaves mindfulness and somatic practices into sessions for clients who find body-based approaches helpful.

Her practice frequently draws on Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients reframe unhelpful patterns and develop practical skills. Grounded in a strengths-based perspective, she encourages people to identify and use their existing resources to address depression, anxiety, grief, adjustment challenges, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. With experience across a range of settings, she has worked with individuals from age 3 through 80 and emphasizes cultural humility and contextual understanding in her work.

In addition to creative methods, Spence integrates spirituality for those who wish to include it in their healing, reflecting her background as an ordained minister. She aims to be a steady, compassionate partner as people move toward the goals that matter most to them.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Joselyn Spence often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s priorities guide each session. This approach helps people who need a compassionate space to explore feelings, values, and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another frequent tool; it involves identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Narrative Therapy is also part of her approach - it helps people examine and re-author the stories they tell about their lives, making room for new perspectives and choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Joselyn collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone appointments, and some work can continue via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity across transitions, and access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without added travel time.
