She guides clients through small steps that change daily habits.
Montanna has four years of experience as an LPC - licensed professional counselor - working with adults in Idaho.

Her work also addresses attachment struggles, guilt, shame, and somatic symptoms connected to stress.
People who come to her can expect a calm, empathetic presence and practical tools to use between sessions. She emphasizes self-compassion and clearer communication as pathways to steady progress. The focus is on building skills that fit each person’s life and schedule.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Montanna draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and understanding. One common approach she uses helps people learn new coping skills for strong emotions and stress. This approach teaches breathing, grounding, and short behavioral experiments to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on communication and relationship patterns. It looks at how past experiences shape current interactions and practices clearer ways to express needs and set boundaries. This work is helpful for improving interactions and reducing repeated conflicts. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Montanna works with each person to pick methods that match their goals, life stage, and comfort. She adjusts plans as progress is made so the work stays practical and relevant. Online therapy gives flexibility for people balancing jobs, caregiving, or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easy to check in between sessions or fit brief conversations into a busy day. These options help people access consistent care without reshaping their whole schedule.Questions people ask
