About Priscilla

Dr. Priscilla Sobremonte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 24 years of clinical experience. She helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

She began her career after serving 11 years in the United States Air Force and completing a Master of Social Work. Early roles included work with severely emotionally disturbed children and collaboration with county mental health and juvenile justice systems. That work led to roles in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation supporting inmates with severe mental illness in inpatient and outpatient settings.

Later positions included therapy work at Kaiser Permanente with children, families, and crisis intake, and roles in Veterans Health Care as a medical social worker supervisor and program coordinator. She opened a private practice in 2006 and has worked across community, medical, correctional, and private settings.

Her clinical style uses a client-centered framework to build treatment plans with each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trauma-focused ideas, solution-focused techniques, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and narrative methods when they fit the client’s goals.

She also authored a therapeutic journaling workbook called Therapeutic Journaling: Making Sense of My Life, based on narrative journaling for people trying to make sense of difficult experiences. She is not able to write letters to employers for time off or disability verification.

How sessions work

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working with the person’s own goals. The therapist helps people identify what matters to them and builds a plan together to address stress, relationship patterns, or codependency behaviors.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It’s practical and helps people notice unhelpful thinking, experiment with changes, and track small behavioral steps for issues like anxiety, depression, sleep, and coping with life changes.

Existential Therapy supports looking at meaning, responsibility, and choices when life feels confusing or stuck. It can help people facing big transitions, grief, or questions about identity and commitment.

The therapist treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust methods based on a client’s goals, comfort, and feedback rather than following a single formula.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use a quieter spot without traveling. Licensed professionals adapt pacing, homework, and mindfulness or journaling exercises so they work across different session styles.
