Laura Montoya is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical, evidence-informed support for stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, parenting concerns, and depression. She works with people to identify strengths they already have and to build skills that make everyday life easier.

With four years of experience as an LPC in Texas, Laura frames sessions around the client's goals.
Background and approach
She listens for what matters most and helps set small, achievable steps. Sessions often include talking through recent struggles, practicing coping strategies, and checking what feels useful between meetings. Laura emphasizes the person’s own knowledge of their life.
She treats clients as partners in problem solving and helps them notice patterns that get in the way. She also supports people working through complicated emotions such as guilt, shame, grief, and loneliness. Practical issues like caregiver stress, parenting strain, relationship communication problems, and difficulty with impulse control are common topics she addresses.
Laura also helps with mood and panic symptoms, post-traumatic stress, and questions about life purpose and self-worth. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She guides each person toward strategies that fit their daily routines and personal goals.

How evidence-based techniques work online
Laura draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One common approach she uses involves teaching coping skills for stress and anxiety, such as breathing strategies, behavioral experiments, and stepwise exposure to feared situations; these techniques aim to reduce distress and increase confidence in daily life. Another approach concentrates on processing loss and trauma by helping people tell their story at a manageable pace, identifying painful memories, and building ways to manage intense emotions when they arise.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Laura treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help each person decide which techniques match their goals, values, and day-to-day needs. Plans are adjusted over time to fit what is actually helping.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful when visual connection helps the work, phone calls can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging is helpful for ongoing, flexible support. These options aim to make it simpler to use therapy around a busy life.
