About Priscilla
Priscilla Conkrite offers a client-centered approach that focuses on each person's needs and pace. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California who draws on 15 years of professional experience to guide people through stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.
Background and approach
She creates a calm space where people can talk through painful feelings without judgment. Sessions focus on practical steps and small changes that make daily life easier.
The therapist pays attention to how past hurts affect current relationships and choices. Priscilla uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
She also incorporates mindfulness exercises to reduce overwhelming emotions and improve day-to-day coping. When worries are tangled with identity or relationship issues, narrative work can help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves.
Dialectical behavior strategies are used when strong emotions make it hard to think clearly or stay connected with others. Her work includes helping people facing abandonment, attachment concerns, communication problems, infidelity, and life transitions like divorce or loss.
She also supports those dealing with shame, guilt, panic attacks, social anxiety, isolation, and issues linked to women's lives. Priscilla aims to help people find clearer direction, greater self-compassion, and more reliable emotional balance.
She encourages small, steady steps toward the goals a person values.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Client-centered therapy centers on the person's experience and priorities. In online sessions this means the therapist listens closely, follows the client's pace, and helps organize what feels most important in day-to-day life. It works well for people needing a steady, empathetic place to sort through stress, relationship concerns, or identity questions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online CBT often uses short between-session exercises and clear steps to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which can be practiced in live sessions and reinforced with messaging tools.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs, and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit best. This collaborative planning helps shape which strategies are emphasized over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face work and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, practice between sessions, or when a written format feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while working with a licensed professional.
