More about Josephine
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
My interest in counseling began over twenty years ago as a classroom teacher and school counselor. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC, #2541) practicing in the state of Arizona. I have worked with many schools and social service agencies with a particular skill set in trauma, transition, and anxiety.
I enjoy teaching clients about the therapeutic process. I believe that "thinking about our thinking" is time well spent. I use primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when working with clients. Through active listening and engagement, I work collaboratively with clients to create unique treatment plans that support personal direction and choice toward change and growth.
My husband and I enjoy a rural lifestyle with lots of animals and room for children and grandchildren to spend time with us. Travel, quilting and jigsaw puzzles take up a lot of my free time. And baking...lots of baking.
I look forward to working with you in a positive therapeutic relationship that can maximize your time and energy toward a happier and thoughtful path toward change.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
