Priscilla Conkrite, LMFT

Priscilla Conkrite is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California with 15 years of clinical experience. She practices in a client-centered way and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, depression, and concerns related to LGBT identity. She aims to make the first steps toward therapy feel achievable and supportive.

Her approach centers on listening and creating an open space where people can share thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Sessions focus on clear communication, understanding patterns like attachment or jealousy, and practical skills to reduce panic, social anxiety, or overwhelming emotions. She also helps people address life transitions, grief, and issues such as infidelity, separation, and forgiveness.

Priscilla blends several methods to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centered principles to prioritize the person’s goals, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and dialectical skills to manage intense emotions. Narrative and mindfulness tools are added when they fit the client’s situation.

People working together with her can expect straightforward conversations about goals and small, doable steps between sessions. She emphasizes recovery, independence, and reconnecting with community. The tone in sessions is nonjudgmental and paced according to what feels manageable.

She offers services in English and practices under a California LMFT credential. If you want to begin, use the provider’s matching process to complete the matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Client-centered therapy puts the client's priorities first and focuses on listening, empathizing, and supporting personal goals. It helps people who need a space to talk through relationship worries, identity questions, or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete steps to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, panic, and depressive symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger and intense reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods that match those needs. Together they’ll adjust the plan over time if something isn’t working or a different skillset is needed.

Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people work on situations like jealousy, communication problems, or panic from wherever they are, while the therapist and client focus on practical strategies and homework that can be used between sessions.
