About Gabriela
Gabriela Kuri Montes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She offers straightforward, practical support for people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and family struggles, trauma, and changes in life circumstances. Gabriela’s approach is warm and collaborative.
She helps people set clear goals and take small steps toward them. Sessions focus on useful skills and real-life strategies rather than long explanations.
How Gabriela works
She speaks English and Spanish and works with adults who want concrete help. In sessions Gabriela draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, existential ideas, and solution-focused methods. That mix lets her shift between identifying unhelpful thinking, practicing new behaviors, clarifying values, and building short-term plans.
She adapts the work to each person’s immediate needs and longer-term goals. Her experience includes supporting people facing parenting stress, blended family issues, substance concerns, postpartum and pregnancy-related struggles, first responder stress, and relationship conflict. Gabriela also addresses body image, self-esteem, social anxiety, anger, and compassion fatigue.
She uses clear, actionable steps to help people regain balance. People who want a cooperative, goal-oriented therapist may find her style helpful. Gabriela emphasizes realistic homework, measurable progress, and checking in on what’s working.
She invites clients to try approaches that fit their life and values.

Online support options
How Gabriela adapts evidence-based approaches online
Gabriela uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and homework to test what changes feel different in daily life.She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on values and committed action. That approach helps people decide what matters, accept difficult feelings, and take steps toward a meaningful life rather than getting stuck trying to avoid discomfort.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gabriela will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what is useful and doable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and interactive exercises, while phone calls can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, homework support, and staying on track between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around family, work, and daily life.
