How Montgomery works
The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can manage. Dr. Prescod has a military background and brings understanding of military culture to relevant issues.
He also addresses concerns such as addiction, bipolar and mood disorders, grief, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and attention-deficit challenges.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small actions that match those values, even when difficult emotions are present. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking that drive unhelpful behaviors and teaches practical skills to test and change those thoughts. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and impulse-related issues.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That can mean mixing ACT, CBT, and mindfulness techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and to continue work between meetings.
