About Montgomery
Dr. Montgomery Prescod offers practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by parenting, stress, anxiety, mood changes, or trauma. He is a licensed professional counselor with eight years of experience and works with adults seeking clearer coping strategies and steadier day-to-day functioning.
He uses straightforward talk, mindfulness, and cognitive tools to help people spot unhelpful thinking and habits. Sessions focus on small, doable steps that reduce stress and improve emotional balance.
Background and approach
He also addresses substance use, impulsivity, and complications when more than one concern is present. Montgomery draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered listening to shape each plan. He incorporates acceptance-based ideas to help people live by their values even during hard feelings.
Mindfulness practices are used to build attention and calm during moments of overwhelm. He has a background in military service and understands military culture and related stressors. That perspective informs work with people who identify as veterans or have been affected by service-related experiences.
Practice methods include short skill-building exercises, values clarification, and problem-solving for parenting challenges and relationship strain. The goal is to leave each session with at least one practical strategy to try between meetings. Over time the focus is on stronger coping, clearer goals, and better day-to-day functioning.

Approaches and online options for meaningful change
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking actions that match those values, even when difficult emotions are present. It helps people who feel stuck by shifting attention toward meaningful goals and small behavioral steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behaviors by teaching specific skills to reframe thoughts and try new actions; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and present-moment noticing to reduce reactive responses and build calm during stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose and adapt methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with CBT skills for immediate symptom relief, adding mindfulness practices, or moving toward ACT for values-based direction.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different rhythms of life. Video is good for deeper, face-to-face conversation. Phone calls work when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can be used for quick check-ins, shorter skill practice, or when you prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and other obligations.
