She served in the United States Air Force for 11 years before completing a Master of Social Work (MSW) and becoming an LCSW. Early in her career she worked with severely emotionally disturbed children and within a county mental health department in partnership with juvenile justice, supporting children, adolescents, families, and youth placed in juvenile hall.

Integrating client-centered and evidence-based therapies online

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and priorities, inviting the therapist to listen deeply and collaborate on a treatment plan that reflects the client’s values and lived experience - it is helpful for relationship, family, and life transition concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive patterns; it is often effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily coping challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings, which can support stress reduction, emotional regulation, and coping with trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Sobremonte and other licensed professionals work collaboratively with clients to choose and adjust methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, blending strategies when appropriate to meet changing concerns.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access skilled therapists from varied locations, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and select a format that supports each client’s engagement and progress.
