About Brent
Brent Pritchard is a LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Washington with seven years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. Brent also focuses on attachment issues, body image, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, and isolation or loneliness.
He tends to keep sessions straightforward and practical. Brent helps people notice patterns that get in the way and build small skills to respond differently. He uses clear, everyday language and invites clients to set goals that feel useful for daily life.
Brent draws on several evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. He also uses attachment-based and client-centered methods to look at relationship patterns and how they affect mood. His practice includes work on substance issues, anger, and grief alongside broader emotional concerns.
Sessions include talking through difficult memories, practicing behavioral changes, and learning ways to manage strong emotions. Brent emphasizes improving communication skills and addressing problems that show up at work or in relationships. He supports people who want practical steps for coping with chronic illness, fertility or fatherhood stresses, and life transitions.
People who are dealing with shame, guilt, or complicated grief can find a direct approach here. Brent helps clients break cycles of avoidance and isolation, and he works with individuals to develop strategies they can use outside of sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Brent uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT often involves short exercises and practical homework to try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and making values-based choices; it supports people who want to act differently even when uncomfortable feelings remain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brent will talk with each person about what matters to them and try methods that match their goals and preferences. That process is collaborative and may mix techniques from different approaches until a good fit is found.

It can also let someone continue seeing a clinician when relocating within the state.
