Dr. Anthony Montez, LPC

Dr. Anthony Montez is a licensed professional counselor with 26 years of clinical experience in Texas. He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship or family tensions. He uses practical, straight talk to help clients sort problems and plan next steps. In sessions he listens closely and helps clients name what matters most to them. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, and solution-focused strategies to build skills and set small, doable goals. Conversations are aimed at changes people can try between sessions. He often addresses issues such as mood disorders, attachment concerns, anger, intimacy challenges, and coping with major life changes. Dr. Montez also works with people dealing with divorce and separation, blended family adjustments, and multicultural stressors. He pays attention to how a person’s life story and relationships shape current struggles. Over time he helps people improve communication, manage strong emotions, and reconnect with a sense of purpose. Treatment typically combines short-term problem solving with deeper exploration when that suits the client. His style balances practical techniques with attention to each person’s values and goals. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary depending on location and the subscription-based session model, which can be canceled at any time.

How therapy methods translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. The therapist reflects feelings and priorities so people feel heard and can decide what matters next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes setting clear goals and finding steps that produce quick, manageable change; it’s useful for specific problems like communication or coping with transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Montez will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean focusing on skill practice with CBT at first, then shifting to deeper conversation, or keeping sessions short and goal-directed with solution-focused techniques. The choice is revisited as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and visual connection. Phone calls can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and flexible scheduling during busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, home, and travel routines while keeping the focus on practical change and ongoing support.
