Dr. Priscilla Sobremonte, LCSW

Dr. Priscilla Sobremonte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 24 years of experience. She draws on a client-centered style to help people sort through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Her background includes military service and long work in public mental health settings, which inform a practical, no-nonsense approach.

She spent 11 years in the United States Air Force before completing a Master of Social Work and earning her LCSW. Early work involved supporting children and adolescents with severe emotional needs, including roles connected to juvenile justice and county mental health programs. She later worked with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and at Kaiser Permanente in crisis intake and family services.

Dr. Sobremonte also served in Veterans Health Care as a medical social worker supervisor and program coordinator. Since 2006 she has run a private practice using a client-centered framework. That means treatment plans are shaped together with each person, and methods are chosen to match goals and preferences.

Her clinical toolset includes cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, existential thinking, and narrative-based journaling. She has created a therapeutic journaling resource called Therapeutic Journaling: Making Sense of My Life, drawn from narrative journaling techniques.

She is based in California and works in English. Note: she is not able to provide letters to employers for time off or disability verification.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and priorities. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people name what matters most, then builds a plan around those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers clear strategies to change patterns that cause distress. Those strategies can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying different tools together and adjusting the plan over time rather than prescribing a single path from the start.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online options can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or longer weekly sessions around work and family demands. The original profile did not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Licensed professionals aim to match format and approach to what will work best for each person.
