About Montgomery
Dr. Montgomery Prescod offers direct, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of experience and focuses on helping clients find practical ways to manage emotions and daily challenges.
He uses short-term, skills-based methods alongside more reflective, person-centered conversations. That means sessions can include learning new coping skills, noticing unhelpful thought patterns, and exploring how a person’s history shapes current responses.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are often part of the work to help ground difficult moments. Montgomery draws on a mix of cognitive-behavioral and acceptance-based techniques to target symptoms linked to mood, trauma, impulsivity, and co-occurring concerns. He also pays attention to how cultural background and life context affect mental health.
This helps tailor approaches so they feel relevant to each person’s situation. He has experience supporting people with addiction, grief, relationship or intimacy difficulties, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. His background includes long military service, which informs an understanding of veteran and armed forces issues without assuming that every client shares that experience.
Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. Clients work with him to set goals, try new strategies between sessions, and track what is helpful. The emphasis is on usable skills and steady progress rather than long-winded theory.
How specific approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, value-driven actions even when emotions are strong. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and when life changes feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to recognize and change thinking patterns that increase anxiety or depression. Sessions include short exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking and behaving between meetings, which works well in structured online sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what is working and what is not, making therapy a collaborative process.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and texting support quick check-ins, brief skill rehearsals, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to use skills in real life.
