About Brent

Brent Pritchard is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) based in Washington who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and anger.

Background and approach

He emphasizes a collaborative process that begins by identifying what matters most to each client and then building practical skills and strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Brent blends evidence-informed methods with a person-centered stance to create a respectful, goal-oriented working relationship.

His practice supports clients coping with a wide range of concerns including attachment difficulties, body image, chronic pain and illness, substance issues, communication problems, family and fatherhood challenges, fertility and cancer-related stress, impulsivity, shame and guilt, and isolation.

Brent draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to tailor interventions to individual needs. With seven years of clinical experience, he aims to help people develop self-compassion, clearer communication, and more adaptive ways of relating to themselves and others.

Brent frames therapy as a collaborative exploration of patterns and possibilities, offering practical tools and reflective support so clients can move toward greater resilience and well-being.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Brent uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) complements this work by focusing on values-based action and mindful acceptance of difficult emotions, which can be useful for people coping with chronic illness, grief, or persistent worry.

He approaches therapy collaboratively, helping clients determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together the client and therapist review what feels most useful, try different techniques, and adjust the approach over time so the work stays aligned with evolving needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible and adaptable to daily life. These options allow scheduling flexibility and let clients engage in ways that suit their routines and comfort levels, supporting consistent progress even when attending in-person sessions is difficult.
