Josette Prisk, LCSW

Josette Prisk, LCSW, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, or big life changes. She writes a straightforward, calm plan with each person she meets. Sessions aim to reduce panic, manage anger, and rebuild self-esteem one step at a time.

Prisk practices in Kentucky and brings 12 years of experience to her work. She creates a nonjudgmental space where people can name painful feelings and try new ways of coping. Her approach blends client-centered care with practical skills from cognitive behavioral work and emotion-focused methods.

In sessions she focuses on what’s happening now and what you want to change. That can mean learning breathing and grounding skills for panic, spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, or mapping relationship patterns tied to attachment. She also supports people facing compassion fatigue and role strain related to caregiving or demanding jobs.

Her background includes clinical work with trauma, mood and personality-related struggles. She is licensed clinical social worker in Kentucky and North Carolina, noted as LCSW. Prisk uses methods drawn from attachment-based therapy, CBT, DBT, and emotionally-focused work to tailor a plan that fits each person’s goals.

People who choose her often want practical tools paired with steady, empathetic support. To begin, she asks about your current difficulties and what you hope to get out of therapy, then shapes sessions around those goals.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It helps people understand why they react strongly in certain relationships and build different ways of connecting. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns to reduce distress with step-by-step practice. Emotionally-focused therapy concentrates on identifying and naming emotions in the moment and using that clarity to shift stuck interactions and heal painful attachment wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what felt helpful in past support. Together they will try methods that fit the issue at hand and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. It also makes it simpler to practice skills in everyday settings and bring what happens between sessions back into therapy for discussion.
