About Brent
Brent Pritchard is a licensed clinician in Washington who helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and anger. He focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Brent aims to make sessions direct and approachable so worried parents can understand what will happen in therapy.
He emphasizes listening first and then building plans that fit each person’s life. Sessions often include learning skills for stress and impulse control, practicing clearer communication, and developing self-compassion. Brent uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral work and client-centered conversations to break unhelpful patterns.
Motivational Interviewing is part of his style when people want help making changes they find difficult to start or keep. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to address how relationships and values shape behavior. These approaches are used to help with issues like isolation, body image, chronic illness, or addiction-related concerns.
Brent has seven years of clinical experience and holds a Washington LICSW, which is listed as LICSW above. He works with adults, including young adults and men, and supports people through life transitions such as fatherhood concerns, fertility questions, and work stress. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person can manage.
To begin, he helps people set short-term goals and practical next steps. The focus is on skills you can try between sessions and on noticing small changes that lead to better day-to-day functioning.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping someone find their own reasons to change and on building motivation one step at a time; it can help when starting or maintaining behavior changes like reducing substance use or improving health habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches skills for noticing thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values; it is often useful for anxiety, chronic pain, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current behavior and helps people repair or reframe those patterns to improve connection and emotion regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Brent will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, and he adapts techniques as progress is made. The aim is to try practical tools together and adjust based on what helps most.
Please confirm the therapist's current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose audio-only or video options if that helps them focus or manage bandwidth. These practical benefits often support consistency and ongoing progress. -
