About Priscilla

Dr. Priscilla Sobremonte uses a client-centered approach to guide each person toward clearer choices and stronger self-esteem. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 24 years of experience and she combines practical strategies with listening and reflection. Dr. Sobremonte writes plainly and works collaboratively to set goals that fit each person's life.

She began her career after serving 11 years in the United States Air Force and then earning a Master of Social Work. Early roles focused on children and adolescents with severe emotional needs in county mental health and juvenile justice settings. That work shaped her skill at handling crisis, behavior challenges, and family stress.

Later roles included psychiatric clinical social work in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, providing inpatient and outpatient care for people with chronic severe mental illness. She has also worked at Kaiser Permanente in crisis intake and with families, and with Veterans Health Care as a medical social work supervisor and program coordinator.

Since 2006 she has run a independent practice where she and the client decide a treatment plan together. Her methods include cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, existential ideas, and narrative journaling when helpful. She also created a therapeutic journaling resource called Therapeutic Journaling: Making Sense of My Life for clients who want writing tools to process experiences.

She practices in California and conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients who need documentation such as employer time-off or disability verification should note she is not able to provide those types of letters.

Approach-focused online therapy that fits everyday life

Dr. Sobremonte draws from client-centered work to build a plan around each person’s goals and preferences. Client-Centered Therapy here means the therapist listens first, then helps set shared goals and adjusts methods as needed. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and build self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods to try, monitor what helps, and shift course if needed. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to the issues that matter most to the person seeking support.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, offer options for shorter check-ins, or reduce travel time. It also lets people combine talking, workbook material, and narrative journaling exercises between meetings to keep progress moving forward.
