About Priscilla
Dr. Priscilla Sobremonte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 24 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, and a wide range of related issues.
She began her career after serving 11 years in the United States Air Force and earning a Master of Social Work. Early roles were with severely emotionally disturbed children and county mental health programs tied to juvenile justice. Those positions included work with children and adolescents in juvenile hall and with families navigating crisis.
Dr. Sobremonte later worked as a psychiatric clinical social worker in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. There she provided care in inpatient, outpatient, and special units for people with chronic severe mental illness. She also worked at Kaiser Permanente with children, families, and crisis intake, and held supervisory and program coordinator roles in Veterans Health Care as a medical social worker.
In 2006 she moved into private practice. Her approach centers on client preferences and collaboration. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered, existential, mindfulness, narrative, and motivational interviewing methods when appropriate.
She has authored a therapeutic journaling guide called Therapeutic Journaling: Making Sense of My Life, based on narrative journaling for people who need help organizing life events. Note: she is not able to write letters to employers for time off or disability verification.
How CBT and client-centered work translate to online sessions
Dr. Sobremonte combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods in practical, focused ways. CBT helps people identify and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear exercises and homework. Client-centered work emphasizes the client's experience and priorities, letting sessions follow what matters most to the person.She also draws on existential ideas to help people reflect on values and meaning when that is relevant. These approaches are presented as options; she will collaborate with the client to decide which methods match goals and preferences. Figuring out the best approach is part of the early sessions and may change over time.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, journaling work, and motivational interviewing techniques for remote sessions so the work stays concrete and practical.
