Dr. Priscilla Sobremonte, LCSW

Dr. Priscilla Sobremonte uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered and narrative approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and related concerns. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 24 years of experience working in a range of mental health settings in California. Her style is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people make changes that fit their daily lives.

She began her career after serving 11 years in the United States Air Force and earned a Master of Social Work. Early work focused on children and adolescents with severe emotional needs, including work linked to juvenile justice and county mental health services. Those roles involved crisis intake, case coordination, and hands-on clinical work.

Later roles included providing psychiatric social work in correctional facilities, therapy at Kaiser Permanente, and supervisory and program coordination work for Veterans Health Care. These experiences shaped a steady, problem-solving approach to complex situations and crises. She started private practice in 2006 and has blended clinical methods to meet individual needs.

In session she combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative journaling. She collaborates with clients to set goals and pick methods that suit their situation. Dr. Sobremonte also offers a therapeutic journaling resource called Therapeutic Journaling: Making Sense of My Life that grew from narrative work with clients.

Please note she is not able to write letters to employers for time off or disability verification. Her practice offers a mix of structured and exploratory work focused on real-life coping, relationships, parenting, grief, addiction, and life transitions.

How CBT and Client-Centered Work Translate Online

Dr. Sobremonte often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods in online work. CBT focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behavior and trying small, practical changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, building trust, and shaping goals together so therapy fits each person's life and values.

She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing when useful to help manage strong emotions and boost momentum toward goals. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try approaches that fit your goals, and adjust based on what helps you make progress.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video lets you work face-to-face from another room, phone calls require less bandwidth, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats help people schedule around work, parenting, and caregiving demands while keeping therapy practical and accessible.
