About Brent
Brent Pritchard is a LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker practicing in Washington with seven years of experience. He works with adults on depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, and the stresses of life transitions. Brent also focuses on attachment concerns, body image, chronic illness and pain, substance issues, fatherhood matters, and feelings of isolation.
He uses clear, practical conversation to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions usually involve talking through recent problems, identifying small experiments, and practicing skills to reduce intense emotions. Brent draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods and acceptance-based strategies to handle worry and low mood.
Brent pays attention to relationship patterns that show up in current life. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships affect trust, closeness, and communication now. Work with him often includes role practice for hard conversations and attention to how people relate when stressed.
He also brings dialectical behavior ideas for managing strong emotions and improving impulse control. Client-centered elements mean sessions are paced around what the person brings that week. Together these methods support problem-solving around work stress, school transitions, and starting adult relationships.
Brent works with adults and young adults who feel behind, overwhelmed, or stuck after big life changes. He asks direct questions, sets clear goals, and checks progress over time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approaches you can expect in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, and then taking values-based action. It helps when worry or avoidance keeps someone from doing things that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses short experiments and behavioral steps to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns in how people connect and communicate; it helps with trust, closeness, and repeating old relationship habits.Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try different tools, and decide together what fits best. That collaborative process typically means checking in about which strategies feel helpful and adjusting the focus as needed.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some methods here lend themselves to focused skill practice or homework between sessions, which can be done alongside regular life. Ask about the available session formats and scheduling options when you complete the matching questionnaire.
