About Montoria
Montoria Liggans is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three years of clinical experience in Virginia. She focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She communicates directly and aims to make first contacts straightforward for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
Montoria structures sessions around the issues someone brings. She listens for immediate coping needs and for patterns that keep problems recurring. Conversations include practical strategies for managing symptoms, clearer ways to communicate with others, and steps to process loss and past harm.
She adjusts the pace based on what each person needs. Some sessions focus on short-term symptom relief. Others look at longer patterns in relationships and life purpose. Montoria balances talking through current difficulties with developing new skills to handle them.
Her work respects each person's history and values. She asks about goals and priorities early so sessions stay relevant. When trauma or grief are present, she attends to safety and pacing while addressing emotional impact.
Montoria wants people to understand what happens in sessions before they start. She encourages questions about approach, schedule, and fees. The goal is clear steps forward, whether that means practicing a new communication method or creating a plan to manage anxiety day-to-day.

How evidence-based approaches guide online sessions
Montoria describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on managing symptoms and improving daily functioning. One common approach she uses involves teaching practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing exercises, grounding methods, and short behavior changes that reduce immediate distress. These techniques help people regain control during high-stress moments. Another approach emphasizes communication skills training to address relationship problems; sessions practice clearer ways to express needs, set boundaries, and listen effectively to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that match those aims. If one method does not fit, they review results and adjust the plan so sessions stay relevant to the client's needs and goals.
The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also make phone-only sessions possible when less bandwidth or a shorter meeting is preferred. Ask about the specific formats offered for scheduling and practical arrangements.
