Dr. Priscilla Sobremonte, LCSW

Dr. Priscilla Sobremonte brings a practical, client-centered approach to therapy. She listens first, then works alongside people to set goals and build day-to-day habits that reduce stress and anxiety. Her focus includes thoughts and everyday habits, and she guides clients toward clearer routines and coping steps they can use between sessions.

She spent 11 years in the United States Air Force before completing a Master of Social Work and becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW. Early work was with severely emotionally disturbed children and with county mental health programs tied to juvenile justice. That experience led to roles in corrections, community clinics, and integrated medical settings.

Priscilla has worked in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation with inpatient and outpatient populations, and she provided therapy at Kaiser Permanente including crisis intake and child and family services. She also served in veterans' health care as a medical social work supervisor and program coordinator, bringing administrative perspective to clinical work.

Since 2006 she has worked in private practice using client-centered methods to shape treatment plans. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, existential ideas, and narrative journaling to match what each person needs. She notes she is not able to write employer letters for time off or disability verification.

Dr. Sobremonte offers long experience helping people manage trauma, depression, addiction, grief, parenting strain, ADHD, and relationship and family concerns. Her practical materials include a therapeutic journaling guide based on narrative methods for people trying to make sense of life events.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building goals together; online sessions can use that same collaborative conversation to shape day-to-day plans and small habit changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns - this approach can work well across sessions to set weekly tasks and practice new skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and help pick methods that fit you. That collaboration includes checking how interventions are going and adjusting the plan as needed so therapy stays useful and realistic.

The main practical benefit of online work is fitting sessions into everyday life. Online options often make it easier to schedule appointments around work, school, or caregiving duties and can reduce travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which formats are offered before booking. The emphasis is on making therapy a usable part of daily routines and building habits you can maintain between sessions.
