About Montgomery

Dr. Montgomery Prescod offers practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by anger, stress, anxiety, or major life changes. He aims to help individuals name what’s happening, learn simple coping steps, and practice new ways of responding to hard moments. Dr. Prescod uses straightforward language and a down-to-earth style to make therapy easier to follow for busy adults and adolescents.

He draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people spot patterns in thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger or low mood. Client-centered methods shape sessions around each person’s goals, while mindfulness practices teach brief skills to calm intense feelings. These approaches are used together to build daily routines that reduce reactivity and support clearer decision making.

Dr. Prescod has eight years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor and works from South Carolina. He has a background in military service and reports comfort connecting with veterans because he understands military culture. He also addresses concerns such as trauma, addictions, bipolar mood patterns, ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, and compassion fatigue.

In sessions he helps people manage impulsivity, tolerate strong emotions, and rebuild relationships that have been strained by anger or depression. He can use assessment tools for relationship work and offers tailored plans for parenting stress and career-related issues. His practical focus is on steps people can try between meetings.

Before starting, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details when they book. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to the therapist’s availability.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small committed actions. It helps people notice what matters to them and practice steps that move life in that direction, which can reduce reactive anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches simple experiments to test unhelpful beliefs and shift responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and daily routines, then choose or combine techniques that fit their needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress is tracked.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in real-life settings between meetings, which supports learning new ways to manage anger and stress.
