About Priscilla
Priscilla Conkrite is a California licensed marriage and family therapist, LMFT, with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship problems, and LGBT concerns. Sessions are offered in English.
Her approach centers on client-centered work. She listens for how a person's history and current life interact. Conversations focus on practical steps people can try between sessions. This can include noticing patterns, testing new ways of talking, and learning simple strategies to lessen reactivity.
Priscilla draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people change thoughts and habits that feed upset and frustration. She also uses dialectical behavior techniques to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. Narrative and mindfulness approaches are part of her toolkit for helping people reframe difficult experiences and reduce stress in daily life.
In sessions she aims to move at the client's pace. People who feel stuck by shame, abandonment, jealousy, infidelity, or communication breakdowns often work on clearer boundaries and steadier responses. Those facing panic attacks, social anxiety, or life transitions may focus on short-term skills and rhythm in everyday routines.
Getting started requires completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Priscilla notes that therapy can be a steady, practical process of learning new responses and rebuilding connection with oneself and others.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Priscilla often uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy online. Client-centered work means conversations focus on what matters most to the person and on moving at their pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce stress, anger, or anxiety.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills are practical tools for lowering reactivity, managing impulses, and improving communication during heated moments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods over time. That conversation helps decide whether to emphasize skills training, mindfulness practice, or narrative work that reframes personal stories.

Therapists can guide people to practice grounding skills between meetings and apply new communication techniques in everyday situations.
