Krissel Montano, LCSW

Krissel Montano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with three years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, low self-esteem, and career or relationship strain. Krissel works with adults facing life transitions, caregiver stress, and the strain of chronic illness or ongoing responsibilities.

Her sessions are practical and goal-focused. She uses clear tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to help clients notice thoughts and reactions. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy guide short-term goal setting and forward movement.

Krissel pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns and the ways past family patterns affect current life. She offers concrete ways to improve communication, reduce impulsivity, and manage guilt or shame. She also addresses compassion fatigue and isolation that come from long-term caregiving or high-stress jobs.

She works in both English and Spanish and accepts international clients. People who come to her can expect straightforward sessions that balance skills practice with chance to talk through what matters right now. The focus is on usable strategies people can try between meetings.

Her background includes three years of clinical practice as a Texas LCSW. That experience informs how she blends evidence-based methods so clients can set small, measurable goals. To begin, Krissel asks about what feels most urgent and what changes would matter in daily life.
