Josette Prisk , LCSW

Josette Prisk is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience supporting adults facing trauma, anxiety, mood struggles, and challenges related to personality disorders. She is licensed to practice in both Kentucky and North Carolina and brings specialized training in Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to her work. She focuses on helping people who have experienced abuse or abandonment, those managing panic or mood disorders, and individuals coping with stress, anger, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. She works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, develop coping strategies, and build emotional and relational skills that support long-term well-being. Seeking change often requires courage, and she aims to empower clients through practical tools, reflective dialogue, and consistent support as they move toward a more fulfilling life.

Josette draws on evidence-informed methods to address patterns like codependency, isolation, impulsivity, and shame, tailoring interventions to fit each person’s needs and life circumstances.

Approaches for Online Therapy and Building Emotional Skills

Josette Prisk incorporates Attachment-Based Therapy to help clients understand how early relationships influence current patterns - the work often focuses on improving connection, trust, and relational responses that affect intimate and familial bonds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, panic, and depressed mood while building practical coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it a fit for people who struggle with impulsivity, intense emotions, or relationship conflicts.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Josette partners with each person to explore which methods align with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so treatment remains responsive and individualized.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and changing lives. These options increase accessibility and flexibility, allowing consistent contact with licensed professionals and support that can continue through transitions, travel, or other barriers to in-person care.
