About Priscilla

Priscilla Conkrite is a licensed marriage and family therapist who brings 15 years of experience to sessions. She centers therapy on mindful awareness and a client-centered stance. Her approach aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns in practical ways.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk at their own pace. Sessions emphasize noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept up in them. That practical mindfulness work is paired with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Priscilla also uses dialectical behavior techniques to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. Narrative therapy ideas are woven in to help people make sense of their stories and identify values that matter. These methods are applied to issues like grief, life transitions, and challenges related to identity and relationships.

Her work addresses common themes such as abandonment, attachment struggles, communication problems, divorce and separation, and infidelity. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, loneliness, panic attacks, and social anxiety. The emphasis is on small, sustainable steps toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.

Priscilla works in California and offers sessions in English. Therapy follows a collaborative rhythm - listening first, then choosing techniques together. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How mindfulness and practical skills translate to online care

Mindfulness Therapy helps people learn to notice thoughts and emotions without reacting immediately. This can reduce reactivity and make everyday stress feel more manageable. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following each person's pace, creating a respectful space for whatever someone wants to bring. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches straightforward strategies to change patterns that cause distress.

Choosing the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to find techniques that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting methods as things change. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels doable and relevant.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use tools like guided mindfulness exercises and worksheet-based CBT between meetings to reinforce progress.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
