About Priscilla
Dr. Priscilla Sobremonte uses a client-centered approach to help people make practical changes in their lives. She guides conversations that let each person set the pace and goals for therapy.
Her style is direct but approachable and suited to parents who need clear help with daily struggles. She brings 24 years of experience across public and personal settings in California. That background includes work with military service members, county mental health, juvenile justice, the state corrections system, Kaiser Permanente, and Veterans Health Care.
Background and approach
She moved into independent practice in 2006 and has continued to focus on individual needs. Sessions often blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness strategies when those fit a person's goals. She also uses narrative journaling techniques and motivational interviewing to support change.
Treatment plans are created together, based on what the person finds most useful. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, parenting strain, sleep issues, anger, and self-esteem. Additional areas of focus include attachment and commitment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and coping after disasters.
Priscilla holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and is licensed in California under CA LCSW 22308. She writes therapeutic journaling materials for clients who want a structured way to understand life events. She accepts English-speaking clients in California and internationally via online formats.
Approaches and Online Options for Everyday Challenges
Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person's goals and preferences. The therapist listens closely, helps set practical aims, and adjusts the plan as needed to fit what works in daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers hands-on tools to shift unhelpful thinking patterns and manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It can help with stress, emotional regulation, and coping with chronic pain or caregiver strain.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try different techniques, and tailor the work to the person's needs and goals. Decisions about methods are made together and adjusted over time.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins and ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule or when travel is difficult.
