About Joselyn

Joselyn Spence is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who brings 12 years of clinical experience to her practice. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. Joselyn writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person she meets.

Her approach is trauma-informed and person-centered. She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when trauma is part of a person's history, and she also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns and retell their stories. Sessions often include mindfulness, breath work, and body-based strategies to reduce tension and improve sleep.

Joselyn emphasizes strengths and creativity. She encourages people to notice what already works for them and build on those skills. For people who wish to bring spiritual beliefs or creative practices into counseling, she can incorporate those elements into sessions.

She has worked in many settings with clients across a wide age range and different cultural backgrounds. Joselyn aims to be respectful of each person's context and values when planning care. Her style is calm, practical, and focused on helping people meet clear, achievable goals.

To begin, she guides clients through a simple intake and helps them choose steps that fit their life. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

How Joselyn’s approaches fit into online therapy

Joselyn commonly uses Trauma-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past traumatic events affect current feelings and behavior and includes techniques to reduce the hold of those memories. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and able to explore what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change thoughts and actions that keep problems like anxiety and depression going.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Joselyn works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and daily life. She will adjust the plan based on what helps most and on feedback from the person in sessions.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. For some people, talking from their own routine helps them apply new skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt trauma-focused, client-centered, and CBT techniques to work well in remote sessions, and Joselyn will discuss practical plans for using these approaches with each person.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
