She holds the credentials LMHC and LPC - LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor and LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor - and is licensed in Texas and Virginia. Montoria encourages clients to recognize the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling and happier life, and she offers steady support throughout that process. Her practice also focuses on improving communication and helping clients clarify life purpose, so therapy addresses both immediate concerns and longer-term personal growth.

Whether a client is coping with recent loss, recovering from past hurt, or working to reduce ongoing anxiety, Montoria aims to collaborate with them to build realistic, compassionate plans for change and resilience.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Montoria uses evidence-based, skills-focused techniques that teach practical coping tools for stress, anxiety, and depression. These approaches help clients identify unhelpful patterns, develop new strategies for managing difficult emotions, and build daily routines that support well-being.

She also works with trauma-informed strategies designed to acknowledge the impact of traumatic experiences and to move at a pace that feels manageable for each person. This work supports healing from trauma and abuse and can be adapted to address grief and loss as well.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Montoria partners with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts methods over time so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Montoria is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around daily life and to continue care from a variety of settings while working with a licensed professional committed to practical, evidence-based support.
