About Montoria
Montoria Liggans is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three years of clinical experience. She is licensed in Virginia and Texas and works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Montoria also focuses on communication problems and questions about life purpose.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. She listens to what matters most and adapts conversations to each person. Sessions are practical: clients talk through current problems, notice patterns, and try concrete ways to change how they respond to stress or grief.
Montoria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and keeps the work goal-oriented. She helps people break big concerns into manageable steps. This can include improving communication, processing difficult memories, or clarifying what matters when someone feels stuck after a life change.
In sessions she pays attention to how daily habits and relationships affect mood and decision-making. She encourages short-term experiments clients can try between meetings to test new approaches. This helps people see what fits their life and what does not.
Practical matters are part of her approach. She discusses expectations, what a typical session looks like, and ways to measure progress. People who want clear, action-focused support around stress, grief, or finding direction often seek her out.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Montoria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and measurable change. Cognitive approaches help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different, more balanced ways of thinking. These methods can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.She also draws on trauma-informed strategies to help people process difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable. This involves grounding, careful pacing, and practical methods to reduce distress when memories or triggers come up. Such approaches are commonly used for trauma and abuse recovery and coping with grief.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss options, ask about your goals and preferences, and adjust methods as you learn what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together how to proceed, and she encourages trying concrete steps between sessions to see what fits.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that focus on immediate problems. Some formats also let people choose a shorter or phone-based check-in when they need a quick conversation rather than a full session.
