About Brent
Brent Pritchard, LICSW, helps people who feel stuck by stress, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, or after trauma. He focuses on clear, practical steps so people can manage strong emotions and make steady progress. He listens first and asks simple questions to understand what matters most to each person.
Sessions usually involve noticing thoughts and feelings, practicing small behavior changes, and building skills that reduce reactivity. The tone is straightforward and goal-oriented without being harsh.
Background and approach
Brent blends several approaches to match the person in front of him. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people commit to meaningful actions even when feelings are difficult.
Clients come for many concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including attachment issues, body image, substance use, chronic illness, communication problems, and fatherhood or fertility stress. He offers practical tools for impulsivity, shame, and isolation as well as longer work on grief or trauma recovery.
With seven years of experience as a Washington licensed clinical social worker, Brent aims to create a calm, respectful space for problem-solving. He works with adults and young adults to build resilience and clearer ways of relating to themselves and others.

Approaches for managing feelings online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while still taking steps toward a meaningful life. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and struggles with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills for people who react strongly to stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Brent will discuss your goals and preferences and together you’ll try methods that fit your situation. The process is collaborative, with regular check-ins to see what helps and what needs adjusting.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give options for different schedules and needs. Video lets you work face to face when that helps. Phone calls use less data and can be easier during a busy day. Text and chat are useful for quick check-ins, skill practice, or when clients prefer shorter, written exchanges. These options make it possible to keep therapy consistent and flexible around life demands.
