Gabriela Kuri Montes

Gabriela Kuri Montes is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She brings nine years of clinical experience in mental health settings and offers a calm, direct approach that helps people address pressing concerns. She works in both English and Spanish and aims to make sessions easy to understand and practical.

Gabriela focuses on common struggles such as anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship and family difficulties. She also helps people managing ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Parents and people navigating life changes or postpartum challenges can expect straightforward support and planning.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with Solution-Focused and Existential ideas. Gabriela emphasizes clear goals and practical steps to try between sessions. She describes her manner as warm, empathic, and collaborative so clients feel heard while working toward change.

Sessions typically center on identifying unhelpful patterns, trying small experiments, and building skills for everyday life. Gabriela helps clients develop tools for communication, coping with stress, and improving body image and self-love. She also brings experience from work with law enforcement and outpatient settings to inform how she tailors care.

To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Gabriela aims to partner with each person to set realistic goals and track progress week to week.

How Gabriela’s approaches translate to online care

Gabriela commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with concrete behavioral experiments, which can reduce anxiety and depression. ACT emphasizes values-based actions and teaching skills to accept difficult feelings while moving toward a meaningful life, which helps with stress, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of working together. Gabriela will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions lean more toward CBT skill work, ACT values work, or a blend with solution-focused planning.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping continuity when life gets hectic. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since they are not listed here. Online options can make it easier to attend regular check-ins, try short focused appointments, or schedule sessions around work and family commitments.
