About Montgomery

Dr. Montgomery Prescod focuses on helping people who are managing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and related challenges find clearer ways forward.

Background and approach

He draws on a practical, cognitive-behavioral perspective to help clients notice unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior, then build more adaptive skills for coping and relationship effectiveness. His practice emphasizes developing tools that support day-to-day functioning and resilience.

Prescod combines cognitive-behavioral methods with client-centered principles and elements of interpersonal work, aiming to create a respectful, goal-oriented therapeutic process. He integrates mindfulness strategies and evidence-informed techniques to address mood concerns, impulsivity, addiction-related issues, and the emotional impact of grief or life transitions.

His background includes a focus on multicultural and veteran-related concerns, and he brings experience addressing co-morbidity and post-traumatic stress. Holding an LPC credential and practicing in South Carolina, he uses a collaborative approach to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

With eight years of clinical work, Prescod helps clients translate insight into concrete changes that improve coping, self-esteem, and everyday functioning.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Dr. Prescod commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in his online work. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and problematic coping. ACT emphasizes values-based action and acceptance of difficult thoughts or feelings, supporting people who want to live more consistently with what matters to them despite internal barriers.

He approaches treatment collaboratively, working with each person to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process may begin with one approach and shift as needs become clearer, and he aims to involve clients in decisions about pacing, homework, and practical skill-building to make therapy useful in everyday life.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats can make it easier to access care from home or work and allow for varied interaction styles, whether someone prefers face-to-face conversation, shorter text check-ins, or phone-based support.
