About Montgomery
Dr. Montgomery Prescod is a South Carolina Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of practice. He works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, and relationship strain. He also addresses issues like parenting stress, grief, self-esteem, and career-related difficulties.
Prescod uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people recognize unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. He draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and client-centered techniques to identify triggers and build practical coping skills. Mindfulness exercises and acceptance-based tools are part of how he helps clients notice emotions without getting swept up by them.
He has a military background and notes experience connecting with service members and veterans. That perspective informs how he talks about culture, routines, and stress that can come from military life. He also lists work with multicultural concerns, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress among his focus areas.
Prescod mentions additional work around childhood emotional neglect and impulse-related difficulties, and he uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy to address impulsivity and emotion regulation. He offers PREPARE/ENRICH assessment facilitation for premarital and marital couples when that fit is appropriate.
People who want clear, practical steps for managing anger, reactivity, or ongoing stress can expect sessions that emphasize skill building and problem-solving. To begin, clients follow the site flow to match and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting controlled by them, then commit to actions that match their values. For someone struggling with anger this can mean learning to step back from impulse and choose responses that reflect long-term goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and change reactive patterns. It is useful for targeting workplace irritability, rumination, and mood-related triggers. Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce escalation and improve emotion regulation during tense moments.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences with each person and uses that conversation to decide whether ACT, CBT, mindfulness, or a mix will fit best. That collaborative planning helps shape which skills are practiced between sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current online session options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit shorter check-ins into a busy day, avoid travel time, or use meetings when a quieter space is available. Online work also supports carrying practiced skills into daily routines since sessions happen where life happens.
