About Priscilla
Priscilla Diggins is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota with six years of experience. She works with adults who are managing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and mood disorders, and she has a focus on LGBT concerns and recovery from abuse.
Priscilla helps people who struggle with communication problems, social anxiety, isolation, and attachment issues. She also supports clients facing self-harm, dissociation, and personality-related patterns. Young adults dealing with identity questions, including gender dysphoria and autism spectrum experiences, are within her stated focus areas.
Her approach is trauma-informed and client-centered. In sessions she listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and then works together with the person to try different ways of responding. That can mean practicing new ways to talk about relationships, testing out boundaries, or learning grounding strategies for dissociation and intense emotion.
Priscilla aims to help clients build steadier routines and clearer communication with the people around them. She pays attention to how past losses and abandonment shape current reactions and decision making. Practical steps and small behavioral changes are often part of her work alongside emotional processing.
Clients can expect direct conversation about goals and what matters most to them. The first meetings typically focus on clarifying problems and planning the next steps. Therapy moves at a pace set by the client and the issues they bring.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Two evidence-based approaches commonly used to address mood and trauma-related problems are skills-focused cognitive methods and trauma-informed care. Skills-focused cognitive methods involve identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing alternative responses; these techniques help with anxiety, depression, and impulsive reactions. Trauma-informed care means paying attention to how past harm affects present behavior and pacing work so someone feels able to try new strategies.Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they choose techniques and adjust the plan as progress and needs become clearer.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and keep check-ins brief when needed. It also allows therapists and clients to use screen-sharing for worksheets, practice exercises between sessions, and flexible scheduling to match school or work hours.
