   About Montgomery

   Dr. Montgomery Prescod welcomes people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, mood shifts, or relationship strain. He writes plainly and listens carefully to help each person figure out practical first steps. His approach aims to make daily life feel more manageable and relationships more steady.

   He uses a mix of Motivational Interviewing and cognitive-behavioral methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered ideas to explore values and what matters most. Mindfulness and dialectical strategies are part of the toolbox when emotion regulation or impulsivity are concerns.

   With eight years as a Licensed Professional Counselor, he brings experience working with mood disorders, trauma, addiction, and grief. He also focuses on issues such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, and the complexities that come with co-morbidity. His background includes military service, which informs his understanding of military culture and related stressors.

   Sessions aim to identify small, doable changes. People can expect a collaborative pace where goals are set together and adjusted over time. Techniques may include skills practice, values work, and talking through patterns that keep problems repeating.

   He practices in South Carolina and provides care in English. If you want to learn more, use the site controls to start a matching process and see the next steps.

2. How therapy approaches translate to online care

   Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change by guiding conversations that build motivation. It can be useful when someone is uncertain about next steps for mood, addiction, or behavior change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values while accepting difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
   
   Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut down travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. It also allows work on skills, values exercises, and momentum between meetings so progress can continue in day-to-day life.
