About Priscilla
Dr. Priscilla Sobremonte uses a client-centered approach to guide people through difficult life moments. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 24 years of experience and she frames therapy around each person’s needs and goals. Dr. Sobremonte practices in California and works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, and issues around intimacy and parenting.
She began her career after serving 11 years in the United States Air Force and earning a Master of Social Work. Early clinical work focused on severely emotionally disturbed children and adolescents, including collaboration with juvenile justice and county mental health programs. That work included time supporting youth placed in juvenile hall and coordinating care across systems.
Later roles included psychiatric social work in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, where she provided care in inpatient, outpatient, and special units for chronic severe mental illness. She also worked at Kaiser Permanente providing therapy, crisis intake, and family support, and served in Veterans Health Care as a medical social worker supervisor and program coordinator.
Dr. Sobremonte began private practice in 2006. She combines practical methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative journaling with a collaborative planning style. Clients work together with her to set goals and try approaches that fit their life and values.
She has authored a therapeutic journaling guide called Therapeutic Journaling: Making Sense of My Life, which draws on narrative journaling to help people process difficult experiences. Please note she is not able to write letters to employers for time off or disability verification.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and adapting to what the person says matters most. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead and helps set goals that feel realistic and useful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then tests small changes to shift patterns; it can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and coping with life changes. Motivational Interviewing is a brief, goal-focused style that helps people clarify motivation and move toward change, often used for addictions, career shifts, or health behavior change.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about what they hope to accomplish and try methods that match those goals. Decisions about techniques are made together and adjusted as progress is tracked.
The biography does not specify which session formats are currently offered, so confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when a full hour isn’t possible. It also makes consistent weekly meetings simpler for people managing irregular schedules or long commutes. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT worksheets, mindfulness practices, and narrative journaling exercises to an online setting to keep therapy practical and focused.
