Priscilla Conkrite , LMFT

Priscilla Conkrite is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 15 years of experience. She practices in California and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and women's issues. She aims to create a calm, compassionate space where people can speak honestly and at their own pace.

Her work is client-centered, which means sessions are shaped around each person's needs and goals. She uses practical tools to address overwhelming feelings and anxious thoughts. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what helps day to day.

Priscilla also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, testable changes. She uses dialectical behavior ideas to teach coping skills for strong emotions and to reduce impulsive reactions. Narrative elements help people make sense of painful experiences and find a clearer path forward.

She has supported people dealing with relationship strain, communication problems, infidelity, and separation. Other areas she commonly addresses include abandonment, shame and guilt, loneliness, panic attacks, and questions about life purpose. She also works with LGBT concerns and issues tied to faith and community.

Sessions aim to build practical strategies and greater self-kindness. Priscilla encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes. She invites people to take the first step when they are ready and offers collaborative support through the process.

Using practical approaches in online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client's lead. This approach helps people feel heard and makes it easier to set goals that matter to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses clear, practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, panic, and depression.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for handling strong emotions and improving communication. These skills can reduce impulsive reactions and make relationships steadier.

Finding the best fit is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist work together to choose which approaches to use over time.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and visual cues, phone sessions are a good option when connectivity or bandwidth is limited, live chat supports short check-ins, and text messaging makes it easy to fit brief reflection into a busy day. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit real life and routine.
