About Montgomery
Dr. Montgomery Prescod is a South Carolina Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. He sees adults who are managing stress, anxiety, trauma, mood concerns, substance issues, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, and other life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and his practice notes experience with veterans and multicultural concerns.
He uses straightforward, evidence-based methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors, developing practical coping skills, or practicing mindful awareness. He also integrates acceptance-based ideas and client-centered listening to shape each plan.
Montgomery draws on his own military background when working with people who have served or who are familiar with military culture. He has experience addressing post-traumatic stress, impulsivity, co-morbidity, and compassion fatigue. He also works with people facing grief, career transitions, and challenges related to ADHD.
The first sessions focus on what the person wants to change and which skills fit daily life. From there he offers practical strategies such as cognitive restructuring, behavioral experiments, distress-tolerance skills, and mindfulness practices. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted when needed.
He uses assessments and structured conversations when they help clarify relationship patterns and personal goals. People choosing to work with him complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial meeting to discuss next steps.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes clarifying values and taking small, committed steps toward a life that matters to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to the person’s goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust what’s used over time. That decision is collaborative and based on what helps with daily functioning and relationships.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce the need to travel, and let people use phone rather than video if that better suits their routine. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to remote meetings so skills practice and behavioral experiments remain practical and usable in everyday life.
