About Priscilla

Dr. Priscilla Sobremonte blends practical, evidence-informed methods with a collaborative, client-centered stance to help people navigate complex life challenges.

Background and approach

She emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as one tool among several to address symptoms like anxiety, depression, trauma responses, sleep difficulties, and struggles with relationships or substance use.

Over a 24-year career she has worked across systems including military service, county mental health, corrections, healthcare settings, and independent practice, bringing experience with crisis work, family systems, and long-term mental health needs.

Her background includes work with children, adolescents, families, veterans, and people in inpatient and outpatient settings, and she has provided supervision and program coordination in medical social work. In independent practice since 2006, she uses a collaborative process to shape treatment plans, drawing on CBT, mindfulness, existential ideas, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques when appropriate.

Dr. Sobremonte also authored a therapeutic journaling resource to support clients processing life events.

She maintains California licensure as an LCSW (CA LCSW 22308) and offers services to clients inside and outside the United States.

Practical therapeutic approaches delivered online

Dr. Sobremonte uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping with life changes. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a collaborative, respectful space where the client's priorities guide the plan and pace of work. Existential Therapy is another strand that may be used to explore meaning, values, and decisions when clients face major life transitions or identity questions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works with clients to determine what fits best based on their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That collaborative decision-making helps shape whether CBT, mindfulness techniques, narrative work, or another method becomes the central focus of sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for greater scheduling flexibility and easier access from different locations. These options make it practical to continue consistent work despite busy lives, relocation, or other constraints, and they support ongoing collaboration between licensed professionals and the people they serve.
