Therapeutic Approaches and Online Counseling Options

Gabriela Kuri Montes draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday coping skills. She also uses solution-focused therapy to help people clarify specific goals and build practical, short-term steps toward change, which can be effective for life transitions, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she may integrate to support values-based action and increased psychological flexibility when clients face difficult emotions or identity questions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gabriela collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress unfolds so the work feels relevant and purposeful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow clients to connect from home or other convenient locations, making it easier to maintain consistency and access support when it matters most.
