Online support options
How online therapy and focused approaches work together
Dr. Monteiro commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy when working online. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different responses to reduce anxiety or depression. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and clear goals to build momentum and solve specific problems quickly.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help clients clarify what matters to them and strengthen their own motivation for change. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, pace, and preferences rather than applying one fixed method.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Chat and messaging support short check-ins, ongoing reflection, or people who prefer typing over talking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting into everyday life.
