Priscilla Conkrite

Priscilla Conkrite is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with 15 years of clinical experience. She uses a client-centered approach that focuses on listening first and responding to each person's needs. Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, depression, and women's issues.

Priscilla prefers to build an open space where people can share thoughts and feelings at their own pace. She emphasizes practical steps people can try between sessions. Her style blends talk therapy with concrete skills so clients can manage symptoms and make day-to-day changes.

With a background that includes supporting LGBTQ clients and individuals navigating life transitions, she also addresses topics such as attachment and abandonment wounds. She helps people work through communication problems, infidelity, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt or shame.

Priscilla uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills. She incorporates mindfulness and narrative work to help people reframe difficult stories and find new patterns. The emphasis is on practical strategies and self-compassion.

Clients who value a collaborative process can expect to set clear goals and try small experiments between sessions. Priscilla describes the first step as a courageous one and aims to support independence, community connection, and a stronger sense of purpose over time.

How client-centered and skills-based therapy works online

Priscilla draws on client-centered therapy to follow each person's lead and create space for honest conversation. This approach focuses on listening carefully, reflecting back what she hears, and supporting people to set goals at their own pace.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical techniques to change them. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, panic, depression, and social fears. Dialectical behavior therapy adds skill-based tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication when feelings are intense.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they may try different techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made.
