Brent Pritchard

Brent Pritchard, LICSW, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anger, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions aim to make day-to-day life feel more manageable and to reduce conflict at home or work.

Brent frames therapy as a collaborative process. He listens first, then helps clients identify patterns that feed anger or avoidance. Practical skills are taught alongside efforts to understand past wounds and attachment influences. The result is a blend of short-term strategies and longer-term change.

He draws on several evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based work. These methods are used to target stress, trauma, grief, and problems with communication or self-image. Techniques are adapted to each person's needs rather than applied the same way to everyone.

Brent has seven years of experience as a licensed independent clinical social worker in Washington. That background informs a straightforward style that balances empathy with clear, achievable goals. People learn how to handle impulses, manage strong emotions, and improve relationships.

Sessions often focus on building self-compassion, practical coping tools, and clearer communication habits. Brent supports people recovering from addiction, coping with chronic illness, or facing major life changes. He aims to help clients regain calm, make better choices, and reconnect with what matters to them.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then committing to actions that match personal values; it can help with anger, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for stress and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to early relationship patterns and how they affect current trust, closeness, and communication in adult life.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Brent will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit those needs. Work in therapy may shift over time as needs change, combining skills practice with deeper relational work.

Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use video or phone options depending on comfort with being on camera or internet bandwidth. The therapist will discuss what works best practically and help tailor sessions to everyday life.
