About Priscilla

Dr. Priscilla Sobremonte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 24 years of experience. She centers therapy on each person's needs and works alongside clients to build a plan that fits their goals. Her style emphasizes calm, practical steps and respectful listening.

She draws on client-centered methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addictions. She also addresses relationship and family concerns, parenting struggles, sleep problems, anger, and issues related to chronic illness or disability. Living with health challenges is one focus among many she supports.

Dr. Sobremonte uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help spot patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. She pairs that with mindfulness and narrative tools so clients can notice their reactions and tell their story in new ways. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want help making changes but feel unsure where to start.

Her work history includes community mental health, county juvenile services, correctional mental health, Veterans Health Care, and integrated care at a health system. She moved into private practice in 2006 and has blended those experiences into a practical approach. She also created a guided journaling resource for clients who want to process life events.

Dr. Sobremonte notes she is not able to provide letters for employer time off or disability verification. People who want to begin are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule based on availability.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities, with the therapist listening carefully and shaping the plan around what matters most. This approach suits people who want a collaborative process and clear goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replace them with more useful options. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes because it gives concrete tools to practice between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away. It can help reduce stress, manage emotional reactivity, and support people living with chronic pain or ongoing health challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. This collaborative planning can change over time as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people use tools like guided journaling and between-session exercises to support ongoing change.
