Practical therapies for anxiety and life changes online
Dr. Monteiro uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often includes tracking thoughts, testing assumptions, and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and lift mood.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about change. This approach focuses on clarifying personal goals, exploring ambivalence, and building motivation one step at a time. Solution-Focused Therapy is used for short-term planning and fast, practical problem solving when people need immediate direction.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Feedback and adjustments are part of how sessions move forward.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, coaching-style support, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options help therapy fit into work, family, and daily life.
