How Dr. Monteiro’s Approaches Work Online

Dr. Monteiro uses practical, evidence-based methods that translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people change unhelpful thinking patterns to reduce anxiety, anger, or low mood. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to build motivation for change, useful for addictions, career shifts, or making tough decisions. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying small, concrete steps toward a preferred future and is helpful when clients want short-term, goal-oriented work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with clients about needs and goals and suggest which methods to try. The plan is a collaboration and can be adjusted as progress is made or priorities change.

Session format options are not specified here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, simplify follow-up between appointments, and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when a quick update is helpful or for sessions that focus on concrete skill practice without a full office visit. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to the online setting to keep sessions focused and practical.
