About Montoria
Montoria Liggans is a licensed mental health counselor who brings three years of clinical experience to her work in Virginia. She focuses on practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship strain. Montoria emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a calm presence in sessions.
Her style is direct and collaborative. She listens first, then helps set small, concrete steps clients can use between sessions. Conversation and clear goals guide the process rather than abstract theory.
Background and approach
She adapts language and pacing to each person’s needs. Montoria helps people untangle communication problems and rediscover a sense of life purpose. For grief or trauma she aims to create steady progress through manageable tasks and steady check-ins.
For relationship concerns she focuses on improving how people talk and connect with one another. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules and different comfort levels. Sessions follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Montoria is licensed as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, and as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and practices in Virginia. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire so sessions can be scheduled according to availability.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Montoria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in plain language. One common approach focuses on symptom management through practical skills - teaching breathing, grounding, and behavior adjustments to reduce anxiety and manage stress. This helps people handle intense moments and build steadier routines.Another frequent focus is processing loss and trauma through paced conversation and gradual exposure to difficult memories. That approach aims to reduce avoidance and help people regain daily functioning one small step at a time. For relationship and communication concerns she concentrates on practicing clearer ways to talk and listen so interactions feel less heated and more productive.
Finding the right mix of techniques is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and comfort level, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, while phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, school, and family life.
