Priscilla Conkrite, LMFT

Priscilla Conkrite is a California-licensed LMFT with 15 years of professional experience helping adults and couples navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and issues related to LGBT identities. As an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she brings specialized training in relational dynamics and systemic approaches to individual and couple work.

Her practice is grounded in a client-centered and holistic philosophy that prioritizes listening, collaboration, and pacing that matches each person’s needs. Priscilla creates a welcoming space where thoughts and feelings can be voiced without judgment, and she supports clients as they pursue greater independence, community connection, and overall well-being.

She works with a wide range of concerns including anger, panic and social anxiety, attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, infidelity and divorce, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Priscilla integrates evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior strategies along with mindfulness and narrative elements to tailor care to each client.

Recognizing that beginning therapy takes courage, she guides clients through the first steps and adapts treatment to their goals, values, and pace. Priscilla provides sessions in formats that fit modern life, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Priscilla Conkrite uses client-centered approaches that emphasize the client’s own goals and pace, creating a supportive space where personal values and lived experience guide the work. This approach helps people facing relationship concerns, life transitions, and challenges with self-worth by centering the therapy around their priorities.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, panic attacks, depressive symptoms, and social phobia by teaching practical skills to shift reactions and build coping strategies. Priscilla incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can help with intense emotions, anger, and patterns of relationship conflict.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Priscilla works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations while still receiving structured, skill-oriented care.
