Gabriela Kuri Montes , LPC

Gabriela Kuri Montes is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of clinical experience in the mental health field. She has worked across a range of settings including private practice, outpatient services, in-home care, and alongside law enforcement, experience that has exposed her to diverse clinical needs and varying levels of severity. Her practice focuses on anxiety, depression, ADHD, family and relationship conflicts, couples counseling, life transitions, and trauma, and she also supports people facing stress, parenting challenges, addictions, intimacy concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.

Gabriela integrates practical, evidence-informed methods into her work, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused strategies as well as acceptance-based approaches when helpful. She describes her style as empathic, warm, and supportive, and emphasizes collaboration with each person to set concrete goals and steps toward change. Fluent in English and Spanish, she works with individuals and families to address blended family dynamics, communication problems, postpartum and perinatal challenges, first responder issues, and questions of life purpose and self-love.

Rather than prescribing a single path, Gabriela partners with people to identify tailored tools and measurable steps that fit their situation. Her aim is to empower clients to move through difficult transitions and build more fulfilling, resilient lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Gabriela Kuri Montes

Gabriela draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and adjust unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD, and day-to-day coping skills. She also uses solution-focused therapy to concentrate on clients' strengths and practical steps toward change, making it well suited for life transitions, communication issues, and relationship goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another tool she may incorporate, guiding people to clarify values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Gabriela works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods over time so treatment aligns with the client’s needs and priorities.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to schedule care around work, family, or other commitments and to continue therapy from home or another convenient location. Gabriela frames online work as a way to make consistent therapeutic support more attainable for people with busy or changing lives.
