About Priscilla
Dr. Priscilla Sobremonte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 24 years of experience. She uses a client-centered approach and listens first to understand each person's situation.
She focuses on stress and anxiety among many other concerns and aims to build practical plans that fit daily life. She spent 11 years in the United States Air Force before earning a Master of Social Work. Early work involved children and adolescents in county mental health and juvenile justice settings.
Background and approach
That experience shaped her skills in crisis work and working with intense emotional needs. Priscilla later served in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation as a psychiatric clinical social worker. She worked across inpatient and outpatient settings and with people who had chronic severe mental illness.
She also provided therapy at Kaiser Permanente and worked in Veterans Health Care as a medical social worker supervisor and program coordinator. Since 2006 she has maintained a independent practice using a collaborative method. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness tools, motivational interviewing, existential ideas, and narrative techniques to tailor each plan.
She also created a therapeutic journaling resource called Therapeutic Journaling: Making Sense of My Life to help clients process experiences. She offers sessions in English and sees clients in California as well as international clients through online formats. She explicitly notes she is not able to provide letters for employer leave or disability verification.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a plan around the person's own goals. In practice that means the therapist asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps people set steps they feel ready to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to shift them. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, sleeping problems, and mood challenges.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, mindfulness practices, narrative journaling, or other methods and adjust the plan over time based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy makes these approaches easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face work for skill practice and emotional check-ins. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or eye contact is a problem. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or journaling prompts between sessions. These options give flexibility to schedule care around work, school, or family responsibilities.
