About Priscilla

Priscilla Cole is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation problems. She speaks plainly and works to make conversations feel respectful and approachable. Her style aims to support someone who wants a more fulfilling, happier life and is ready to take the first steps toward change.

Priscilla draws on seven years of professional experience and adapts discussions and plans to match each person she sees.

Background and approach

She uses practical tools to address day-to-day concerns like coping with life changes, parenting questions, and relationship tensions. She also offers support for issues such as addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, anger, and career stress. Her work includes attention to adoption and foster care topics, communication problems, postpartum depression, and the unique stresses that can follow natural or human-caused disasters.

Additional focuses include life purpose, self-love, HIV / AIDS related challenges, emptiness, and young adult issues. Priscilla uses methods drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy. She tailors these methods to what a person needs most and helps set clear, achievable goals.

Sessions are offered in English and are provided through a range of online formats to fit different schedules. Priscilla holds an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and practices in Florida. She aims to create a collaborative space where people feel heard and can build practical steps toward the changes they want.

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. It gives space for each person to lead the conversation while the therapist reflects and supports what matters most to them. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and practical guidance to figure out next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It uses clear exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. CBT is useful for stress, depression, and problems that come from recurring negative thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help decide which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people speak face to face from home, while phone sessions provide a simpler option when video is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent momentum toward goals.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
