Priscilla Conkrite

Priscilla Conkrite is a California licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on creating a calm, respectful space for people to talk about tough emotions. She draws on a client-centered approach to help people feel heard and seen as they work through anger, anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship struggles. Her tone is steady and practical, aimed at helping someone take the first step toward feeling better.

With 15 years of professional experience, she uses several therapy styles to match each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns that feed anger and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Mindfulness and narrative work support people who want tools for self-awareness and a clearer sense of life purpose.

She helps people address concerns like abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, infidelity, isolation, jealousy, panic attacks, self-love, social anxiety, and women's issues. She also lists LGBT concerns among her focus areas and aims to provide an accepting environment for those exploring identity and relationships.

Her approach emphasizes pacing sessions to match each person’s comfort level. Sessions center on listening, skill-building, and practical next steps. The aim is to move toward greater emotional balance and stronger connections in daily life.

To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions based on therapist availability. Cost varies with location and therapy subscription options, which can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's pace, creating space to talk through feelings and goals. This approach helps people who need a supportive, nonjudgmental place to process anger, anxiety, or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for managing panic attacks, social anxiety, and persistent worry. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and communication skills that help with intense anger and relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean starting with listening and then adding CBT or DBT skills if those tools feel helpful.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in everyday settings and bring real-life situations into sessions for focused problem-solving.
