About Priscilla
Priscilla Anzaldúa is a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois with 16 years of experience helping people manage depression, anxiety, workplace stress, and relationship concerns. She offers a warm, culturally attuned presence and speaks both English and Spanish. Her work often centers on practical steps people can use day to day to feel steadier and more confident.
Priscilla focuses on young adult concerns like life transitions, imposter syndrome, and career pressure. She also helps people facing caregiver strain, attachment issues, guilt, shame, isolation, and women’s issues. In sessions she listens for what feels most urgent and then helps build realistic coping strategies to try between meetings.
Her approach emphasizes feeling seen across cultural and language lines. She pays attention to how culture and background shape expectations, relationships, and work life. That perspective guides conversations about identity, belonging, and the stress people carry into their jobs and relationships.
Practical tools feature alongside conversational work. This can include moment-to-moment skills for anxiety, ways to set boundaries at work, and steps to rebuild confidence after setbacks. Sessions balance understanding where patterns come from and testing new behaviors in small, manageable ways.
People who come for help can expect steady, direct feedback and collaborative planning. Priscilla supports clients in identifying priorities, practicing new skills, and tracking progress toward clearer goals.
Approaches that meet work and wellbeing needs
Priscilla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine practical skill-building with attention to culture and relationships. One common method focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new, more balanced thoughts to reduce anxiety and low mood; this helps when worry or negative self-talk gets in the way of work and daily life.Another approach emphasizes understanding attachment patterns and how they affect current relationships and work dynamics. This helps people notice repeated interaction habits and try different ways of asking for support or setting boundaries.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches match their goals, needs, and personal style. That might mean trying one technique for several weeks and adjusting as progress or new issues arise.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during workday breaks, or reduce commute time so people can keep consistent appointments. Licensed professionals can help adapt techniques so they work well in a remote setting and fit into everyday routines.
