Dr. Priscilla Sobremonte

Dr. Priscilla Sobremonte uses a client-centered approach that puts the person's goals first. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 24 years of experience and she tailors care to what each person needs. Her work includes hospice and end-of-life counseling among many other focus areas. She writes plainly and helps people make sense of difficult moments through practical conversation and written exercises.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and try new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used to build calm and focus during stressful times. Existential ideas come up when people need to face big questions about meaning and loss.

Her background includes long clinical experience in public systems and medical settings. That history means she is familiar with trauma, grief, and chronic medical conditions. She also has experience supporting caregivers and people managing compassion fatigue.

Dr. Sobremonte created a therapeutic journaling tool called Therapeutic Journaling: Making Sense of My Life, which is based on narrative journaling methods. She uses writing when it helps people organize memories and feelings.

She practiced in the U.S. Air Force and later worked in county mental health, juvenile justice, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Kaiser Permanente, and Veterans Health Care. Since 2006 she has worked in private practice, shaping treatment plans with clients in a collaborative way.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's priorities and choices. In sessions the therapist follows what matters most and helps set goals that fit daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers simple exercises to test new ways of coping and behaving. Mindfulness Therapy helps people build attention and reduce reactivity through brief practice and grounding techniques that can be used between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs and help decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted over time based on what is most helpful for the person.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes regular contact possible when caregiving, medical concerns, or geography make in-person visits harder. Discuss format and scheduling during the matching and intake process to find a plan that works for everyday routines.
