About Priscilla
Priscilla Mota-Hutchinson, LCSW, speaks English and Spanish and brings a personal understanding of bicultural life to her work. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey and aims to make therapy practical and easy to use for busy people. She meets clients where they are and shares tools that can help reduce worry and strengthen coping skills.
Priscilla grew up as a first-generation American in New York City, raised by Dominican parents on the Upper West Side.
Background and approach
That background informs how she sees identity, culture, and the stress that can come from moving between different communities. She completed a Master of Social Work at Yeshiva University School of Social Work in New York City. Across four years in practice she has focused on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions.
She also addresses issues like self-esteem, workplace stress, attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, guilt and shame, and social anxiety. Her work emphasizes concrete steps people can use between sessions. Priscilla uses a holistic approach that blends practical skills with attention to personal history and relationships.
Sessions often include conversational problem solving and skills practice aimed at making day-to-day life feel more manageable. She supports clients who are looking to build self-love, find clearer life purpose, or heal from past trauma. Clients can expect straightforward language and a collaborative style.
She focuses on what matters to each person and helps craft small, realistic changes to try outside of sessions. Therapy is offered in English and Spanish to serve bilingual needs.
Evidence-based approaches and online support
Priscilla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses teaches coping strategies and behavioral tools to reduce anxious thoughts and manage stress; these techniques help with daily worries, workplace stress, and social anxiety. Another strand of her work looks at attachment and relational patterns, helping people understand how past relationships shape current feelings and communication styles, which can reduce shame and improve self-love.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Priscilla works together with each client to identify goals and preferences, then adapts techniques to fit what the person needs. She encourages small experiments and regular check-ins to see what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people speak face to face when that feels helpful, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be good for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress moving forward.
