About Aurora
Aurora Pal-Montano is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience. She listens without judgment and helps people take practical steps when life feels overwhelming. Her approach centers on collaboration and motivation so clients can learn skills that fit their everyday lives.
She often supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Relationship concerns, grief, and mood problems are also common topics she helps address. Aurora pays attention to how health issues, chronic pain, or aging affect daily coping and mood.
How Aurora works
In sessions she focuses on clear, usable strategies. She offers information, observations, and skill-building tailored to each person's situation. The overall aim is to strengthen coping, reduce distress, and improve how someone manages day-to-day challenges.
Aurora also brings attention to communication problems, divorce and separation issues, life purpose and midlife transitions, panic attacks, social anxiety, multicultural concerns, and women’s issues. She works with people to identify what matters most and to set achievable goals. She provides care in Texas and speaks English and Tagalog.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are central to Aurora's work, focusing on methods that teach practical skills and coping strategies. One common approach emphasizes skill-building to manage anxiety and panic symptoms, helping people identify triggers, practice calming exercises, and rehearse new behaviors to reduce distress. Another approach focuses on mood and depression by breaking problems into smaller, manageable steps and setting achievable goals that restore daily functioning and purpose.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to clarify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. That shared process helps determine which methods feel most useful and match the person's preferences and needs.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It can also let someone continue regular care despite changes in location or schedule. Licensed professionals aim to make sessions practical and relevant so people can apply what they learn between meetings.
