Therapy services with a modern-day convenience!
Hi, my name is Josie DeShong, and I’m excited you’ve found me here! Maybe you’ve experienced a hurdle you have just tried and tried to get over and have self-doubt about how you’ll handle the distress. Whether you’re looking for assistance with stress management or finding ways to manage a mood or thought disorder, you have the ability to openly share about your current needs without shame!

Why did I become a therapist?
“A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.”
I love the above quote from my father, because I understand how frustrating it can be to desire change but not be sure how to initiate it due to fears, lack of belief in your abilities, or other common concerns. Scheduling a therapy session can be intimidating, but my goal is for you to feel relaxed and hopeful that you are able to make the changes you want in life.
I graduated from the University of South Carolina with a Master of Social Work. My intention was to provide services to others given my desire to help peolpe realize their capacity for growth and change. I now have been practicing for over four years to assist individuals with various mental health needs. My work includes providing telehealth therapy sessions (see previous section for more information) and advocating to reduce stigma surrounding mental health diagnoses.
Therapy ought to be something you look forward to, not a chore, so my goal is to provide a warm and affirming atmosphere in sessions. What I offer is the space to explore obstacles to change and empower individuals while focusing on the whole person- not just a diagnosis!
Feeling relaxed and confident in the change process is an important goal I strive to help you meet!
I aim to promote wellness by validating your whole experience, not JUST by focusing on a diagnosis!
I’d love to hear from you!
