Priscilla Conkrite, LMFT

Priscilla Conkrite is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California. She brings 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. She also supports clients navigating relationship concerns and LGBT issues. Priscilla uses a client-centered approach that puts each person's experience first. Sessions focus on listening without judgment and moving at the client's pace. She aims to build a working relationship where people feel heard and can try new ways of coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are among the approaches she draws on to address patterns of thinking and to teach practical skills. Mindfulness and narrative work are also used to help clients notice habits, reframe stories, and reduce distress. Her background includes helping people with attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, and challenges after separation or infidelity. She also addresses shame, guilt, loneliness, panic attacks, and social anxiety. Priscilla often focuses on life purpose, self-love, forgiveness, and women’s issues. She supports clients who want clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and fewer reactive responses. Her style is steady, empathetic, and goal-oriented. For someone taking the first step, she emphasizes a collaborative process. People create goals together and try small, practical steps between sessions. Over time the focus is on building skills that lead to more calm and better relationships.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes. In sessions this looks like setting small experiments and building skills to reduce anxiety, panic, or depressive patterns.

Client-centered work emphasizes listening and working at each person's pace. The therapist follows the client's concerns, offering reflection and support so people feel understood as they explore relationship or identity issues.

DBT brings skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. It can be helpful for anger, relationship conflict, and situations where better emotion regulation is the goal.

Priscilla treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each client about their goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. If an approach isn’t helping, she adjusts the plan together with the client.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and teaching skills, phone works well for lower bandwidth or a quick check-in, and chat or messaging can support short updates and practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work from different locations.
