About Gabriela
Gabriela Kuri Montes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She brings nine years of clinical experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and major life changes. Gabriela works in both English and Spanish and aims to create a practical, supportive space for clients to tackle problems directly.
Gabriela favors straightforward methods that produce clear steps people can try between sessions. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits.
Background and approach
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and act on them despite uncomfortable feelings. Sessions tend to focus on setting doable goals and trying short experiments. Gabriela often blends solution-focused ideas to identify what’s already working and scale it up.
Conversations emphasize real-life strategies for parenting, stress management, relationships, and coping with trauma or loss. People meet her style as warm and collaborative. She asks questions, listens closely, and helps clients choose practical next steps.
The work is interactive rather than purely reflective, with concrete tools and small homework tasks when useful. Gabriela has experience across outpatient and community settings and with law enforcement populations. That range informs her approach to communication and safety planning.
Parents looking for clear strategies around family dynamics or postpartum adjustment may find her straightforward style helpful.

Approaches that guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and parenting challenges where behavior change matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to change mood and daily routines; it often helps with depression, ADHD symptoms, and anxiety.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Gabriela will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She adapts methods collaboratively, combining techniques when that best fits the client's needs and aims.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation windows. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are handy for brief updates, tracking progress, and scheduling quick problem-solving between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and varied routines.
