About Krissel
Krissel Montano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with three years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, relationship strain, grief, and family of origin issues. She also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, and coping with life changes.
Montano uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors. Sessions include clear goal-setting, skill practice, and short exercises to manage emotions and reduce overwhelm. She pulls from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help with thoughts and daily habits.
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are used to clarify values and identify immediate steps a person can take. These approaches aim to make progress feel realistic and manageable. Conversations often cover how early family roles and expectations still influence current choices.
She speaks English and Spanish and works with adults navigating career pressures, caregiver roles, chronic illness challenges, and feelings of isolation. Montano helps parents and individuals who want to untangle family patterns without blaming anyone.
People who reach out can expect straightforward talk about goals and practical strategies to try between sessions. The emphasis is on small, achievable changes that fit day-to-day life. To begin, follow the site’s process for matching and scheduling a first appointment.
Approaches used in online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is used to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change routine patterns that cause trouble.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of present-moment experience. It can help with stress, rumination, and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of what happens in sessions. The therapist will work together with each person to choose which methods to try based on their goals and what feels manageable. That collaborative process may blend techniques and change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, make it easier to check in during a lunch break, or reduce travel time. Others appreciate shorter check-ins by phone when they need less bandwidth or a quick review. Discuss practical arrangements during the matching and scheduling step so sessions can fit into everyday life.
