Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Josette Prisk draws on several evidence-informed approaches to help clients address emotional pain and relationship patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current connections and emotional responses, helping clients improve trust, boundaries, and intimacy in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms by teaching practical coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, which can be especially useful for managing intense emotions and impulsivity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Josette works with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and then tailors techniques from these therapies to create a treatment plan that fits each person's circumstances. The therapist-client relationship guides adjustments over time so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from home or other convenient locations. Licensed professionals can adapt therapeutic tools to these formats so clients can learn skills and make progress through a range of virtual session types.
