About Anthony

Dr. Anthony Montez is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 26 years of clinical experience based in Texas. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and issues with addiction.

His work is practical and straightforward, aimed at making day-to-day life more manageable for clients seeking change. He uses clear, client-focused conversations to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions typically focus on concrete steps and small shifts that can improve communication and mood.

Background and approach

He also addresses intimacy-related struggles, anger, self-esteem, and coping with major life changes. Dr. Montez draws from several well-established methods to shape treatment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to find and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Client-Centered Therapy creates space for people to set their own pace and goals. Solution-Focused Therapy targets immediate concerns and practical solutions that can be tried between sessions.

He has worked with a broad range of concerns over his career, including attachment challenges, blended family issues, and multicultural matters. He also supports people dealing with divorce, infidelity, abandonment, and aging-related questions. Language of practice is English and he holds Texas LPC number 14233.

Telehealth options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. The practice uses a cancellable subscription model for sessions and scheduling follows therapist availability.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting people where they are. The therapist listens closely and helps clients set their own goals, which can be useful for family or life questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, often with exercises to try between sessions.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest a path to try. It is common to combine elements from different approaches to fit what is working for the client.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy family schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to connect when time or mobility is limited. These options help people maintain continuity of care and try short exercises or check-ins between longer sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
