About Anthony
Dr. Anthony Montez is a licensed professional counselor with 26 years of experience based in Texas. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship strain.

Sessions are straightforward and aimed at clear goals like better communication, managing mood, or coping with loss.
Background and approach
Dr. Montez uses everyday language and concrete techniques rather than jargon. He draws on client-centered methods that place a person’s goals at the center of the work.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Existential ideas help people examine meaning and purpose during life transitions. Dr.
Montez often combines short-term solution-focused steps with deeper exploration when needed. That means setting small, achievable goals while also looking at patterns that keep problems returning. This blend can help with issues such as anger, intimacy struggles, or feelings of emptiness.
With many years of practice, he has worked across a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, attachment issues, family problems, and multicultural stressors. He aims to create a steady, respectful space for parents and individuals to talk through hard topics and build workable skills.

Approaches for online support and problem-solving
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building confidence, improving communication, and working through parenting concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is about noticing thought patterns and testing them. It offers practical exercises and behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and address mood swings. CBT often includes homework between sessions so progress continues outside the visit.
Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk about options, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. Clients set the priorities and the therapist helps shape a path that fits their goals and lifestyle.
Online formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video lets people work face-to-face when they want that connection. Phone sessions can be a good shorter option or for lower bandwidth. Chat and text messaging allow for brief check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions, which can help keep momentum during parenting or life transitions.
