Gabriela Kuri Montes

Gabriela Kuri Montes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She brings nine years of clinical experience and a background across outpatient, in-home, and law enforcement settings. Gabriela offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, ADHD challenges, and issues connected to trauma and life changes.

Her approach is warm and collaborative. She focuses on concrete goals and clear steps rather than letting problems feel overwhelming. Sessions are aimed at helping people build coping skills, improve communication, and make decisions that fit their values and daily life.

Gabriela uses evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused techniques to shape sessions. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas and existential perspectives when those fit a person’s needs. The goal is to match methods to the problem and the person, not to apply a one-size-fits-all plan.

She has worked with clients dealing with parenting strain, blended family concerns, intimacy and communication problems, addictions, compassion fatigue, and the emotional fallout of separation and divorce. Gabriela also supports people coping with postpartum mood changes, first responder stress, and questions about life purpose.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Gabriela encourages straightforward, goal-focused work so people can return to daily responsibilities with clearer direction and more practical tools for managing difficult moments.

How Gabriela’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Gabriela often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which can make it easy to use during online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy combines noticing painful thoughts with choosing actions that match personal values; it can help people move forward when they feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gabriela works together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, symptoms, and everyday life. That collaborative process means techniques can shift over time if something isn’t helping.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare, or other responsibilities because it reduces travel time and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows repeated practice of skills in real-life settings and follow-up between sessions through agreed-upon methods with the therapist.
