About Maurice

Maurice Pritchard is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who uses straightforward, skills-based work to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship strain. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques to guide practical change. Maurice has ten years of formal experience as an LCPC and many more years working in mental health settings.

He is based in Montana and conducts sessions in English. Maurice began his career in mental health decades ago and has worked in evaluation and treatment facilities, crisis centers, residential programs, and community mental health centers.

Background and approach

That background gave him experience with a wide range of concerns, including depression, PTSD, addiction, anger, and family issues. He tends to keep sessions direct and goal-oriented, while also paying attention to each person’s values and daily life. In sessions he teaches practical tools people can use right away.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps with changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices offer ways to calm attention in stressful moments. Solution-focused methods help set clear short-term goals and track small wins.

Maurice emphasizes collaboration. He listens to what matters to the person and tailors skills to their situation. He aims to support steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes.

He currently offers work from Montana and provides sessions in English. Maurice welcomes people who are ready to take active steps toward change and learn concrete skills for managing life’s challenges.

Practical approaches for online family and parenting support

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday parenting challenges where patterns of thinking and reacting get in the way of solutions.

Mindfulness Therapy helps people build moment-to-moment awareness and calm. Simple breathing and attention practices can reduce reactivity during heated family moments and improve emotional regulation.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable goals and the steps that lead there. It’s helpful when someone wants quick, concrete changes in routines, communication, or coping strategies.

Maurice approaches the choice of method as a team effort. He will talk with each person about their goals, try out different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to emphasize.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to work on challenges from home. These formats offer flexibility for short check-ins, focused skill practice, or regular sessions, so people can keep moving toward their goals without long travel times.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
