About Priscilla

Dr. Priscilla Sobremonte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 24 years of experience. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting, and other issues among her focus areas. She also notes work with ADHD, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related struggles.

Her early career included 11 years of service in the United States Air Force. After earning a Master of Social Work (MSW) she worked with severely emotionally disturbed children and with youth connected to juvenile justice. She later provided services in county mental health, correctional settings, and Veterans Health Care in roles that included clinical social work and program supervision.

Dr. Sobremonte has experience as a therapist at Kaiser Permanente where she did crisis intake and worked with children and families. She also worked in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation with inpatient and outpatient populations, including units for chronic severe mental illness.

Since 2006 she has practiced in private practice using a client-centered approach. She describes incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trauma-focused methods, solution-focused work, and relationship-and-family-related interventions as part of deciding a treatment plan with the person in a collaborative way.

She is the author of Therapeutic Journaling: Making Sense of My Life, a narrative-journaling resource created for clients trying to make sense of life experiences. She notes she is not able to provide employer time-off letters or disability verification.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative plan. In practice this means the therapist asks about priorities, reflects what she hears, and adjusts the work based on what the person says is helpful. This approach supports people dealing with family-of-origin patterns, relationship concerns, and life stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep problems, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape what sessions focus on over time.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discussing practical scheduling needs at the start helps match the session rhythm to daily life.
