About Brent
Brent Pritchard is a Washington LICSW with seven years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. Brent often helps clients who are dealing with attachment issues, communication problems, chronic illness or pain, and struggles with isolation and shame.
He focuses on clear, practical conversation in sessions. Brent listens for patterns in feelings and behavior and helps people name difficult emotions. He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy along with other approaches to notice how emotions shape relationships and daily life.
Sessions include straightforward skills practice and moments to reflect on what feels stuck. Brent draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients try small changes between meetings. He also uses Client-Centered and Attachment-Based methods to support exploration of personal history and current bonds.
People meet him to manage overwhelming feelings, adjust after loss or illness, or stop cycles of avoidance and anger. He works with young adults, men, and others navigating life transitions and fatherhood concerns. Brent helps clients develop clearer communication and more manageable coping strategies.
He emphasizes collaborative work rather than quick fixes. Over multiple sessions he helps people track progress, adjust goals, and practice new ways of responding to stress and painful emotions.
How his approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on noticing and naming core emotions and how they affect relationships and behavior. Online sessions can use this approach to help people identify patterns and practice different emotional responses in real time.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based actions. In remote sessions Brent can guide brief exercises and homework that build flexibility and reduce avoidance.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape present reactions and expectations. Working online, clients can reflect on those patterns and try new ways of interacting or communicating that reduce reactivity.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. Brent will discuss which approaches match a person’s goals and preferences and adjust methods as progress is tracked. He treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision rather than a fixed prescription.

Online meetings can make it easier to fit sessions into a work break, reduce travel time, and allow focused, camera-on or camera-off check-ins depending on the agreed format.
