Dr. Priscilla Sobremonte

Dr. Priscilla Sobremonte is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience. She draws on a client-centered approach and uses mindfulness, cognitive behavioral ideas, and narrative work to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. She combines practical techniques with straightforward conversation to help people find clearer ways forward.

She spent 11 years in the United States Air Force before completing a Master of Social Work and becoming an LCSW. Early work focused on children with severe emotional challenges and collaborations with juvenile justice. Later roles included psychiatric social work in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, and clinical work at Kaiser Permanente with children, families, and crisis intake.

Her background also includes supervising and coordinating programs within Veterans Health Care and many years in private practice since 2006. In private practice she builds treatment plans together with each person, using approaches such as cognitive behavioral strategies, trauma-focused work, and solution-focused methods as appropriate. She has worked across inpatient and outpatient settings and with special units for chronic severe mental illness.

Dr. Sobremonte offers narrative-based tools she developed, including a therapeutic journaling guide called Therapeutic Journaling: Making Sense of My Life. She is clear about administrative limits and does not write employer time-off or disability verification letters. Her style is collaborative, practical, and rooted in real-world experience.

People meet her to talk through relationship and family stress, parenting strains, grief, addiction concerns, sleep problems, career pressures, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She aims to help each person set realistic steps and notice small changes that add up over time.

How mindfulness and practical approaches translate to online care

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on helping people notice their thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations in the present moment. It can help with anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and managing strong emotions by teaching simple awareness and grounding practices.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and working at the person’s pace. Sessions emphasize understanding a person’s goals and building a treatment plan together rather than following a set agenda.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches tools to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes through practical exercises and short experiments between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will recommend an approach or mix of approaches together. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as goals shift.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing quicker follow-ups. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since this profile does not list them. Many people find online sessions helpful for keeping momentum between appointments and for trying mindfulness or CBT exercises in everyday settings.
