Aurora Pal-Montano, LPC

Aurora Pal-Montano is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience. She offers a calm, attentive presence and helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, and depression.

She listens without judgment and works collaboratively with each person. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical skills, and steps people can use between meetings. The aim is to help clients regain steady footing and move toward the life they want.

With a long career in Texas, she has supported individuals through life transitions and complex emotional challenges. Her work includes concerns related to aging, chronic illness and pain, communication breakdowns, divorce and separation, and questions about life purpose and midlife change.

She also addresses mood and panic disorders, social anxiety, multicultural concerns, and issues commonly affecting women. Her approach emphasizes motivation and skill-building so people can manage symptoms and everyday stressors more effectively.

Sessions are offered in English and Tagalog. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client’s needs. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, with cost varying by location and availability.

How evidence-based approaches guide online care

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and problem solving. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior, then practicing new ways of responding to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps with panic, social anxiety, and depressive symptoms.

Another approach centers on motivational, collaborative work that builds on a person's strengths. It helps people set realistic goals, develop coping strategies, and stay engaged in change when dealing with life transitions such as midlife shifts or chronic health challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust them based on progress and comfort.
