Dr. Montgomery Prescod, LPC

Dr. Montgomery Prescod helps adults and adolescents who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, or life changes. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina with eight years of clinical experience. He draws on practical strategies and steady support to help people manage emotions and day-to-day challenges.

He uses a mix of cognitive and client-centered methods to identify unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns. Sessions focus on simple, doable steps to reduce distress and build stronger routines. Mindfulness practices and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy are used when they fit the person’s goals.

Dr. Prescod has a military background and understands military culture, which informs his work with veterans and others who value that experience. He also addresses issues such as addiction, bipolar and mood disorders, ADHD, grief, and multicultural concerns. He pays attention to how co-occurring challenges interact and affect daily life.

In therapy he emphasizes clear goals, practical tools, and steady progress. He can use assessments for relationship work and supports people dealing with intimacy, parenting, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Language of service is English and he does not take international clients.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to availability. Fees vary by location and a subscription model is used that can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes by focusing on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and builds practical steps to change patterns that increase distress. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which tools and methods will fit their goals and daily life. That conversation guides whether the work leans more on ACT, CBT, mindfulness skills, or a blend of methods.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since formats are not detailed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow use of worksheets or guided mindfulness between meetings. Many people find virtual sessions help maintain continuity of care and practice skills in the settings where they live and work.
