About Gabriela

Gabriela Kuri Montes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical work around stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Gabriela emphasizes collaboration and concrete steps when people are ready to address what’s making daily life harder.

Gabriela draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and existential ideas when exploring meaning, values, and life changes. That mix supports short-term problem solving and deeper conversations about purpose and loss.

In sessions she helps clients set clear goals and practice small, measurable changes between meetings. Conversations typically move from identifying patterns to testing new ways of responding. Gabriela encourages straightforward skills you can use at home and at work to reduce reactivity and manage stress.

She has experience across outpatient settings and has worked with law enforcement, in-home care, and private practice. That background means she has seen a range of practical problems and can adapt conversations to real-life contexts like work stress, parenting strain, or relationship conflict.

People choose her when they want direct, goal-focused sessions that combine hands-on strategies with chances to look at values and long-term directions. To start, readers should confirm session options and follow the site's process to schedule an initial meeting.

How sessions work

How Gabriela uses evidence-based approaches online

Gabriela commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns of thinking and behavior that add to stress and anger. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts and gives practical exercises to try between sessions, which can reduce reactivity over time.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values and to teach ways of accepting difficult thoughts while still taking meaningful action. ACT can be useful for people who want to reduce struggling with emotions and focus more on what matters to them.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gabriela will discuss your goals and preferences and then recommend techniques that fit. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on skills practice, values work, or a mix of both.

The site requires following its booking flow to arrange sessions and Gabriela’s specific session formats should be confirmed before scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work or parenting schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel. Discuss format and timing during the matching questionnaire so sessions match everyday life and responsibilities.
