About Maurice
Maurice Pritchard uses practical, skills-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship concerns. He holds an MT LCPC and brings ten years of recent professional experience to his counseling. Maurice keeps sessions straightforward and focused on small, doable changes that add up over time.
He has worked across evaluation and treatment settings, crisis centers, residential programs, and mental health centers. That variety means he is comfortable with crisis work and with ongoing counseling for long-term issues like grief, addiction, or mood disorders.
Background and approach
Maurice mentions experience with PTSD, including work with veterans, and with anger management needs sometimes tied to court requirements. Maurice leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a primary approach. He also uses mindfulness practices and solution-focused techniques to help people notice patterns, build coping skills, and set short-term goals.
These approaches are used in ways that match each person’s situation and pace. Sessions often focus on practical tools: changing unhelpful thoughts, learning grounding strategies, and setting small behavioral steps. He helps people facing intimacy issues, parenting strain, career stress, chronic illness, and life transitions.
Communication and commitment problems are also common topics Maurice addresses. Many clients come for help with complicated losses, abandonment issues, or the impact of trauma. Maurice describes therapy as a collaborative process where clients and therapist work together toward realistic goals.
He offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging formats to fit different needs and schedules.
How CBT, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Work Online
CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. Online CBT often uses short exercises, worksheets, and homework between sessions to track progress and test new ways of responding to stress and anxiety.Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment with simple breathing and grounding exercises. In remote sessions, mindfulness practice can be guided in real time and then reviewed during follow-ups to build steady coping skills for emotions and intrusive thoughts.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps and what is already working. This approach is useful for people who want clear short-term goals and fast feedback on what shifts are making a difference.
Maurice approaches treatment collaboratively and will help clients choose which methods fit their needs and goals. Together they review preferences and try approaches that match a person’s situation, adjusting techniques as progress is made.
Online formats offer practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let the therapist and client interact visually for skill coaching. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people exchange brief updates, ask quick questions, or do shorter check-ins between sessions. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit into a daily routine.
