Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Dr. Meagan Monteiro uses evidence-informed methods tailored to individual needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety and depression, often through goal-oriented exercises and behavioral changes. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and short-term goals, helping clients build on what is already working and create concrete steps toward desired outcomes. Motivational Interviewing supports clients who are ambivalent about change by exploring personal values and strengthening motivation to pursue healthier choices.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Monteiro works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and adjusts methods over time so the work remains practical, focused, and aligned with what matters most to the individual or family.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and to connect from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, try different formats to see what fits best, and access support while managing life’s demands.
