Montoria Liggans

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 adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Montoria also focuses on communication problems and questions about life purpose.

She keeps sessions practical and direct. She listens to what is most pressing, then talks through steps the client can take between meetings. Conversations often cover ways to manage anxiety, repair communication, and cope with loss in day-to-day life.

Montoria adapts sessions to each person. That means she and the client set goals together and try approaches that make sense for the situation. She aims to respond to cultural and personal differences with respect and sensitivity.

Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Clients can expect clear, concrete strategies as well as time to reflect on values and direction. The emphasis is on practical change rather than abstract theory.

People who feel stuck at work, uncertain about next steps, or overwhelmed by emotional pain may find this approach useful. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site’s matching process so they can schedule an initial session and discuss goals with Montoria.

How evidence-based techniques fit with online work

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on specific skills and patterns. For example, cognitive-behavioral approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Trauma-focused techniques concentrate on stabilizing symptoms, building coping skills, and creating safer ways to process difficult memories when the client is ready.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Montoria will collaborate with each client to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. The process is intended to be interactive, with the client giving feedback about what helps and what does not.

The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Some formats make it easier to check in during a lunch break or keep meetings brief when needed. The therapist’s available session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Licensed professionals can often adapt techniques to work well across different formats, focusing on skill-building, problem solving, and conversations about life purpose and direction.
