Remote care and therapeutic approaches



Josie offers teletherapy tailored to trauma recovery and skills-based work. She frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior and develop practical coping skills. Trauma-Focused CBT is used when the focus is on processing traumatic memories and building strategies to manage trauma-related reactions. Mindfulness and emotional regulation techniques are combined with these approaches to support grounding, distress tolerance, and present-moment awareness.

Those who prefer a collaborative, structured path that mixes skill building with exploration of personal stories may find this approach a good fit. Josie also integrates narrative and strength-based elements to help clients name themes in their lives, reclaim personal strengths, and work toward clearer boundaries and self-compassion.

Remote sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that best fits their needs and communication style.
