About Anthony

Dr. Anthony Montez is a licensed professional counselor with 26 years of clinical experience who guides people through complex emotional and relational challenges.

Background and approach

He focuses on practical strategies and thoughtful listening to help clients manage concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of relationship and family issues. His practice emphasizes understanding personal history and current patterns while helping clients build coping skills and emotional resilience.

Using an integrative, person-focused stance, he combines evidence-informed techniques with attention to meaning and values. Dr.

Montez draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and existential ideas to address mood disorders, intimacy-related difficulties, communication problems, and life transitions. He also works with issues such as impulsivity, infidelity, parenting challenges, multicultural concerns, and questions of life purpose.

Based in Texas, he offers services in English and provides multiple online session formats to fit different needs and schedules.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Dr. Montez frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when working with clients online. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Client-centered work emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, offering space for clients to explore feelings and values while the therapist supports their self-directed growth.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. He will listen to a client's goals, preferences, and life context to determine whether more structured CBT techniques, empathic client-centered support, or a blend of methods best fits the presenting concerns. Together they can adjust the plan over time so therapy matches evolving needs.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for arranging appointments around work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access therapeutic support from different locations while allowing therapists to use targeted exercises, reflective conversation, and between-session tasks adapted for remote delivery.
