About Priscilla
Dr. Priscilla Sobremonte uses a client-centered approach to help people untangle overwhelming problems. She brings 24 years of clinical experience and aims to build practical plans with each person. Her style is straightforward and collaborative, focused on what the client wants to change.
She began her career after graduating with a Master of Social Work and serving 11 years in the United States Air Force. She then worked with emotionally disturbed children, juvenile justice programs, and county mental health services. Those roles included work with youth in juvenile hall and crisis intake at larger health systems.
Later roles included the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, where she served as a psychiatric clinical social worker across inpatient, outpatient, and special units for chronic severe mental illness. She also worked at Kaiser Permanente with children and families and held leadership positions in veterans' health care as a medical social work supervisor and program coordinator.
Since 2006 she has maintained a private practice that tailors treatment to a client's needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, existential questions, and narrative approaches such as therapeutic journaling. She asks questions, offers tools, and helps people practice new ways of coping.
Areas commonly addressed include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, codependency, relationship and communication problems, parenting strain, sleep concerns, and life transitions. She emphasizes collaboration, clear goals, and small steps that fit into everyday life.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building goals together. In practice this means the therapist asks about priorities, checks in often, and adjusts the plan to match what a person finds most helpful. It suits stress, relationship concerns, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with mood changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying CBT techniques for a time, then adding mindfulness or narrative exercises like therapeutic journaling.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to check in during a lunch break or keep therapy going when schedules change. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking to learn which formats are available. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote settings and help clients practice skills between meetings.
