Brent Pritchard, LICSW

Brent Pritchard is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, practicing in Washington with seven years of experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. Brent focuses on practical ways to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning.

He emphasizes clear communication and learning skills that make tense moments easier to manage. Sessions involve talking through recent problems, identifying patterns that feed frustration, and trying out concrete strategies to respond differently. He uses a mix of evidence-based approaches to match what each person needs.

Brent draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice hard emotions without getting driven by them. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to handle strong feelings in the moment. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas inform how he explores relationships and trust.

Clients often work on improving communication, handling workplace stress, navigating grief, or addressing lingering effects of trauma. Brent also supports people dealing with chronic pain, addiction, fatherhood issues, fertility stress, and body image concerns. He approaches these topics with directness and practical tools rather than long theory.

His practice aims to help people build skills they can use outside sessions. New clients are invited to outline their immediate goals and try straightforward techniques in real life. Progress is tracked by what feels different in daily interactions and mood rather than labels or tests.
