About Gabriela
Gabriela Kuri Montes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She brings nine years of counseling experience and focuses on practical help for everyday struggles like anxiety and stress. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy approachable and straightforward.
She uses clear goals and small steps to help people move forward. Sessions often focus on habits, thoughts, and choices that get in the way of daily life.
Background and approach
Gabriela blends therapy styles to match what each person needs rather than using one fixed method. Her style is warm and collaborative. She invites clients to set concrete goals and plans.
Progress is tracked in simple ways so people can see what’s changing between sessions. Gabriela has worked in a range of settings across Texas, including outpatient and community environments. That background shapes a practical approach to problems such as depression, ADHD, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, and addiction concerns.
She also helps with life transitions, postpartum depression, and compassion fatigue. In sessions she often focuses on communication problems, self-esteem, coping with change, and managing anger. She also supports people dealing with social anxiety, body image, intimacy-related questions, and the stress of blended families or divorce and separation.
Her work aims to help people find clearer choices and build usable skills. People can expect a steady, goal-minded process that mixes evidence-based techniques with attention to values and meaning. Gabriela encourages questions and teamwork so clients feel involved in their path forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then act in ways that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions by shifting focus from trying to eliminate thoughts to building a meaningful life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical skills to challenge patterns that increase anxiety or depression and to develop new coping behaviors for everyday situations.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what proves helpful.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is well suited to full sessions and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, short coaching, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life while keeping the focus on practical skill building and meaningful change.
