About Priscilla

Priscilla Conkrite is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California who integrates cognitive and client-centered ideas to support people facing relationship and mood challenges.

Background and approach

With 15 years of professional experience, she emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients explore feelings and patterns at their own pace. She draws on tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, while using client-centered principles to honor each persons values and lived experience.

Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship concerns, and LGBT matters, and she also addresses issues such as attachment wounds, abandonment, communication problems, infidelity, and life transitions. Priscilla weaves mindfulness and narrative perspectives into sessions when helpful, inviting clients to notice present experience and reframe personal stories to support growth.

She encourages those starting therapy to recognize their own courage and works alongside them to build independence, connection, and a clearer sense of purpose.

Approach-driven online therapy for practical change

Priscilla commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and relationship conflict and then practice concrete strategies to change those patterns. She also uses a client-centered approach that prioritizes empathy and the clients pace, creating space for people to explore values, emotions, and goals without pressure. When helpful, Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are introduced to develop emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness skills that support handling intense feelings and communication challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Priscilla works with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their needs and preferences, adjusting methods over time based on progress and goals so clients feel involved in how their care unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to continue regular work on stress, relationships, and mood from varied locations and at times that suit daily life, while maintaining continuity with the therapist across sessions.
