Background and approach
Early work included supporting severely emotionally disturbed children and coordinating services with juvenile justice. Those roles led to later positions in county mental health, juvenile detention settings, and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation where she provided psychiatric social work for inpatient and outpatient populations. Dr.
Sobremonte has worked at Kaiser Permanente counseling children, families, and handling crisis intake. She also served in Veterans Health Care as a medical social worker supervisor and program coordinator. In 2006 she began independent practice and shifted to collaborative treatment planning with each client.
Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, existential ideas, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques. She offers therapeutic journaling tools she authored called Therapeutic Journaling: Making Sense of My Life, based on narrative journaling exercises for processing experiences.
People come to her for a wide range of concerns including parenting challenges, relationship and family stress, grief, addiction, ADHD, sleep issues, and coping with life changes. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions from California in English.

Approaches that guide online parenting support
Dr. Sobremonte blends client-centered care with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to support parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and shaping a plan around the parent's own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to improve mood and routines. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which methods to try first and adjusts the plan based on what helps most. That shared process makes it easier to combine brief skill-building, reflective narrative work, or longer-term exploration when needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for skills coaching and role play. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be a good option for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick reflection, journaling prompts, or pacing support between sessions. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into a busy parent's life.
