About Priscilla
Dr. Priscilla Sobremonte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 24 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, grief, parenting strain, and related issues. Dr. Sobremonte also lists work on intimacy, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
She spent 11 years in the United States Air Force before completing a Master of Social Work. Early clinical work included serving children and adolescents with severe emotional needs, and supporting youth involved with juvenile justice. Over time she provided care in county mental health, correctional settings, and at Kaiser Permanente where she did therapy with children, families, and crisis intake.
Her background also includes roles in Veterans Health Care as a medical social work supervisor and program coordinator, and work in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation with inpatient and outpatient populations. Since 2006 she has run a private practice focusing on adult clients, using a client-centered process to build each treatment plan.
Dr. Sobremonte uses several practical approaches when they fit the person's goals. These include client-centered work that follows the client's priorities, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, mindfulness practices to manage stress, and motivational interviewing to support change. She has created a narrative-based journaling resource called Therapeutic Journaling: Making Sense of My Life for clients who want to work through life experiences.
She notes she is not able to write letters to employers for time off or disability verification. For people considering work together, the usual first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session so the plan can be discussed.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's priorities first. Online sessions using this approach focus on what matters most to the person and shape goals together. This helps when someone is juggling parenting responsibilities or needs practical strategies for everyday life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In brief, she helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try out different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing stress at home.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process guides whether to use client-centered work, CBT, mindfulness, or motivational interviewing in sessions.
The original profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you want to use therapy alongside parenting or work commitments, discuss scheduling and session length when you set up the first appointment.
