About Montoria
Montoria Liggans is a licensed mental health counselor with three years of practice experience. She holds licenses as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and works with people in Virginia. She aims to create a respectful and compassionate environment for each person she meets.
She focuses on common concerns like stress and anxiety, low mood and depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
Relationship difficulties and problems with communication are also areas she addresses in sessions. Grief and loss are treated with attention to each person's pace and needs. Montoria adapts conversations and care to fit the person in front of her rather than relying on one fixed approach.
She helps clients set clear goals and builds a practical plan to reach them. Sessions tend to be direct and collaborative, with an emphasis on real-life changes and day-to-day coping skills. People who choose her can expect straightforward talk about what’s happening now and steps to try between sessions.
She frames therapy as a process that takes courage and small consistent actions. Her approach is calm and supportive while also focused on progress. Montoria works in English and provides services through video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and sessions are scheduled according to availability.
Approaches for Online Work and What to Expect
Montoria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's needs. One common approach she applies focuses on coping skills to manage anxiety and stress. That includes learning simple breathing, grounding, and behavior-based strategies to reduce overwhelming feelings in daily life.Another approach centers on processing trauma and grief in a paced, steady way. This involves talking through difficult memories, naming the impact they have now, and building routines that help with sleep, mood, and safety in everyday moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and then try methods that fit your life and schedule. You and the therapist check in on progress and adjust the plan as needed so the support stays useful and realistic.
The online format offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you see facial cues and hold longer conversations. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, carrying on short conversations, or when a written check-in fits better between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy week.
