About Priscilla

Dr. Priscilla Sobremonte is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience. She draws on a client-centered approach that puts the person's goals first and works step by step to address stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and related concerns.

She spent 11 years in the U.S. Air Force before completing a Master of Social Work, then began clinical practice with children and adolescents who had significant emotional needs. She later worked in county mental health programs linked to juvenile justice and provided services for youth in juvenile hall.

Her career also includes long-term work within the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, where she provided psychiatric social work services in inpatient and outpatient settings. At Kaiser Permanente she worked with children, families, and crisis intake. In Veterans Health Care she served as a medical social work supervisor and program coordinator.

Since starting private practice in 2006 she has used a collaborative method to shape treatment plans, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trauma-focused ideas, solution-focused work, and narrative journaling when helpful. She emphasizes working together to pick approaches that suit each person’s needs and preferences.

She is the author of Therapeutic Journaling: Making Sense of My Life, a narrative journaling resource created for clients who want to organize difficult life experiences. She notes she cannot provide letters for employer time off or disability verification.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy means she starts by listening to what matters most to the client and then shapes the work around those goals. This approach helps when someone needs practical support for stress, relationship concerns, or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and testing small changes to improve mood and functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and coping with major life changes.

Existential elements help people talk about meaning, choices, and how to live with uncertainty. That work can be useful when someone faces grief, career shifts, or questions about long-term purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively to match methods to the client's goals, preferences, and life situation. Together they review what is helping and adjust the plan as needed.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling, fewer travel demands, and the ability to fit sessions into a busy day. The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to keep regular appointments and to continue care when life gets in the way.
