About Priscilla
Priscilla Conkrite is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, anger, and depression while also supporting LGBT concerns and relationship challenges. Her style aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and take steps that feel manageable.
She centers work on the person in front of her using client-centered care. That means she listens first, follows each person's pace, and helps people name what matters to them.
Background and approach
Narrative Therapy is part of how she helps people rewrite painful stories and see problems in a new light. She often blends practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. Those tools can help with panic attacks, social anxiety, and day-to-day stress.
Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice thoughts and calm physical reactions. Priscilla also pays attention to relationship patterns like attachment issues, communication problems, infidelity, and divorce or separation. She helps people work through guilt, shame, jealousy, and feelings of isolation so they can rebuild connection and self-trust.
Sessions are offered in English and arranged around what fits each person’s life. She encourages small steps and sets goals that are realistic. The first session is typically a chance to share concerns and decide together how to move forward.

Online session options
Narrative and skills-based therapy online
Priscilla commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from problems and reframe difficult life stories. That approach helps people see patterns, name what they want instead, and create new ways of relating to hard experiences.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes listening and following the client's pace to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small changes in behavior, which can reduce panic attacks, social anxiety, and persistent worry.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to set goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences, adjusting as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video lets people read body language and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth and easier during a break at work. Messaging and live chat offer shorter check-ins and the chance to reflect between responses. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it into everyday life.
