She writes in plain terms and focuses on practical steps to regain balance and move forward. Her approach is down-to-earth and aimed at people who need clear tools and steady support.

She draws on 11 years of clinical experience and degrees in psychology and counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio. She also holds a Master of Business Administration from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, which contributes to a pragmatic, problem-solving outlook in sessions. Priscilla uses methods that include cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered tools, dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally focused techniques, and mindfulness practices.

Sessions center on listening first and then building skills you can use between appointments. She offers validation and practical education so clients can understand why they react a certain way and try different responses. Work often focuses on coping with loss, reducing anxiety, handling depression, and addressing problems like addiction, codependency, or relationship struggles.

Priscilla also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, abandonment, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the impacts of illness or disaster. She welcomes discussion of sexual identity and alternative sexual cultures without judgment. Her goal is to help clients recognize strengths and create steady, manageable change.

People who prefer direct, skills-based therapy and a compassionate listener may find her style helpful. She accepts clients in Texas and works with international clients in English via online formats.

Evidence-informed approaches you can use online

Priscilla commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods to help clients change unhelpful thought patterns and build practical skills. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that worsen anxiety or depression and then testing different ways of responding to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, validation, and helping people find their own answers rather than imposing solutions.

She also integrates dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotions feel overwhelming or impulsivity is an issue. DBT techniques teach concrete tools for managing intense feelings, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening communication. Together these approaches can address grief, trauma reactions, ADHD-related challenges, and relationship stresses in a structured way.

Finding the right combination is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what actually helps. Clients and therapist decide together which methods to prioritize so the work fits the client’s needs and daily life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people keep eye contact and use visual cues, phone calls can be lower bandwidth, live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing notes between sessions. These options can help fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping consistent progress.
