Dr. Montgomery Prescod, LPC

Dr. Montgomery Prescod meets people where they are and helps them find clearer ways to cope. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood concerns, and patterns that make everyday life harder. His approach aims to make daily routines and relationships feel more manageable.

He uses straightforward, practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioral methods and client-centered ways of working. That means sessions often involve looking at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and trying small changes to test what helps. Mindfulness techniques are also part of his approach to help regulate emotions and attention.

Prescod brings eight years of counseling experience and a background as a military veteran. That life experience informs how he understands service culture and the stresses veterans can face. He offers care in South Carolina and works with people dealing with grief, addictions, bipolar mood concerns, and post-traumatic stress among other issues.

He also addresses relationship and intimacy-related problems, parenting strain, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Work with him can include discussions about identity and LGBT concerns, coping with life changes, and managing impulsivity or co-morbid conditions. The goal is to build more satisfying relationships and better day-to-day functioning.

Prescod holds the LPC credential, which indicates a licensed professional counselor. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. He conducts sessions in English and does not take international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take committed steps toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that hold someone back. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns through practical exercises and experiments to see what works. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance, which supports work on trauma responses and daily stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and may blend elements from different approaches as needs evolve. Clients and the therapist set aims together and check progress over time.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, make it easier to join from different locations within the same region, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about how to shape sessions so they work alongside work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
