About Priscilla

Priscilla Conkrite is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in California who centers sessions on the client. She emphasizes a warm, nondirective approach where people set the pace and bring what matters to them. Her style aims to make conversations feel simple and human, not clinical or rushed.

With 15 years of clinical experience, Priscilla has worked with common struggles such as stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. She also supports people navigating relationship issues, LGBT concerns, grief, and life transitions. She focuses on practical goals like improving communication and rebuilding trust after separation or infidelity.

Priscilla draws from several therapy methods to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centered listening alongside techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Mindfulness and narrative approaches also shape how she helps people understand their stories and cope in everyday life.

Sessions are meant to help people gain clearer choices and more steady emotional footing. She works on skills for panic, social anxiety, and self-directed challenges like guilt, shame, and self-love. She also helps those wrestling with abandonment, attachment worries, loneliness, and questions of life purpose.

Her manner is supportive and direct, with attention to creating connection and practical steps forward. To begin, people follow the site’s matching process and schedule sessions based on availability.

How her approaches shape online care

Priscilla uses client-centered therapy to begin each online relationship, which means she listens first and follows the client’s priorities. This approach helps establish trust and lets the person guide session topics and pacing. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) supplies practical coping skills for intense emotions and panic, such as grounding and emotion regulation techniques.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Priscilla will talk with clients about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what feels useful. The process is collaborative and paced to the client's needs and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone practice skills in their everyday routines, then bring observations back to sessions for discussion.
