About Priscilla
Priscilla Conkrite is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, depression, and issues related to LGBT identity. She also addresses life purpose questions that follow major changes in work, relationships, or health.
Her practice centers on a client-centered approach. Sessions focus on listening and helping people name feelings and patterns. She uses mindful practices and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice what keeps them stuck and try different ways of responding.
Priscilla also draws on elements of dialectical behavior therapy and narrative work when helpful. That means she teaches concrete skills for managing emotion while also helping people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. These methods are offered at a pace each person prefers.
People often come with problems like communication breakdowns, attachment worries, abandonment, infidelity, guilt, shame, isolation, or panic symptoms. She helps people sort through those concerns and identify small, practical changes they can try between sessions.
Priscilla’s experience includes grief, loss, premarital and marital issues, faith-based concerns, and transitions. Sessions are conducted in English and are based in California. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used before scheduling an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Priscilla commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, reflecting, and letting clients set the pace. This approach helps people bring forward what matters most about their stress or sense of direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also part of her work and emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or improve mood.She may incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. DBT skills give concrete tools for managing intense feelings and improving communication under pressure. Together these approaches combine practical skills with careful listening to address life purpose questions and relationship challenges.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. She will work collaboratively with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts pace and techniques as needed.
