About Priscilla
Priscilla Conkrite is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of experience. She sees adults for concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, LGBT issues, and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use day to day.
Priscilla uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person's goals and pace at the center of work. She combines that with cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and with DBT strategies for managing intense emotions. Mindfulness and narrative methods are used to help people notice patterns and reframe personal stories.
In sessions she prioritizes clear conversation and practical tools. People learn skills for managing panic, reducing conflict, and handling ongoing resentment or frustration. She also addresses relationship topics like communication problems, infidelity, and divorce and separation.
Her background includes supporting people through abandonment and attachment issues, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, and life-purpose concerns. She also works with social anxiety, panic disorder and panic attacks, self-love, forgiveness, jealousy, and women's issues.
Priscilla describes her work as collaborative. She helps clients build community connections and regain more independence in daily life. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How client-centered and skills-based approaches translate online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and pace, with the therapist listening closely and shaping sessions around what the person brings. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through anger, relationship strain, or identity concerns without pressure.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger and anxiety. It uses clear exercises and homework to change thinking patterns and reduce reactive behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills that help with intense feelings and moments of overwhelm.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to use based on goals, daily life, and personal preferences. That means approaches can shift as skills build and priorities change.
Confirm the therapist's current online session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people choose settings that support quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth needs, depending on what works best for them.
