Dr. Montgomery Prescod

Dr. Montgomery Prescod helps people facing big life changes and everyday stress. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of experience. He speaks English and offers therapy from South Carolina. People often come for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, and coping with life changes.

He uses practical, talk-based methods to spot unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping. Sessions focus on noticing thoughts and behaviors, learning skills to manage strong emotions, and building routines that feel more manageable. Mindfulness is often used to help ground people when worry or intense feelings show up.

Dr. Prescod draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered techniques. He blends these approaches to match the problem at hand and each person's own goals. Treatment tends to be collaborative and goal-focused rather than one-size-fits-all.

His background includes military service, which informs his understanding of military culture and related stressors. He also lists work with mood disorders, trauma and post-traumatic stress, addictions, ADHD, and multicultural concerns among his focus areas. He uses assessment tools for relationship concerns when appropriate.

Sessions are aimed at helping people regain daily routines, reduce distress, and handle change with clearer choices. Prospective clients should use the site's Start Therapy button to begin the matching process and schedule based on availability.

How common approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values. It helps people accept difficult feelings while taking steps toward a life that matters to them, which can aid coping with big changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy centers on simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the problem at hand, then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted over time if something is not helping.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins that feel less formal. It can also make some skill practice simpler during daily routines and let people use mindfulness exercises where they already spend their time. Ask about the session options available so you can choose what fits your life.
