About Jorge

Jorge Montes is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. He works in English and Spanish and is based in Texas. Jorge aims to meet clients where they are and tailor conversations and plans to each person’s needs.

He brings 27 years of experience to his practice. That background means he has seen many kinds of struggles and knows how to adapt methods to different situations.

Background and approach

Sessions are framed around clear goals and realistic steps that parents and individuals can try between meetings. Jorge emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in his work. He tries to keep things straightforward and practical so people feel understood and know what to do next.

He encourages small changes that add up over time. The counselor uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adjusts them to fit each client. His style is supportive and collaborative, with attention to the specific pressures of parenting and everyday life.

He aims to help clients build confidence, cope with stress, and manage mood changes. To begin, Jorge suggests a short intake process and then crafting a plan that fits the client’s goals. He frames the work as a partnership and offers guidance while clients try new strategies and track progress.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Jorge uses evidence-based techniques aimed at practical change. One common approach focuses on problem-solving and skill building to reduce stress and improve daily coping. This helps people break down big problems into small, manageable steps and practice skills between sessions.

An additional approach emphasizes mood and thought patterns, helping people notice unhelpful thinking and try new ways of responding. That method supports work on low self-esteem and depression by encouraging gradual behavior changes that build confidence.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jorge works with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. He checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on how well strategies are working.

Online therapy makes this work more flexible. Sessions can happen over video calls or by phone when a live conversation is needed, or through live chat and text-based messaging for shorter check-ins and support between sessions. These options let people fit counseling into busy parenting schedules and maintain continuity when life gets hectic.
