About Meagan
Dr. Meagan Monteiro is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns, parenting challenges, and anger.
Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at finding clear steps forward rather than getting stuck on what went wrong. Dr. Monteiro has worked across many settings, including hospitals, schools, shelters for homeless and domestic violence survivors, military programs, and in people’s homes.
Background and approach
That mix of experience shapes how she listens and responds to real-life pressures. She draws on familiar, evidence-based methods to guide short- and longer-term work. In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that fuel stress and anger.
Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel stuck or uncertain about change. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set concrete goals and build small habits that add up. People come to her for concerns such as depression, coping with life changes, intimacy and sexual questions, career stress, and issues linked to adoption or blended families.
She also supports those dealing with aging parent challenges, hospice and end-of-life matters, immigration-related stress, and first responder strain. Therapy with her can include practical coaching, communication practice, and step-by-step plans for managing impulses and strong emotions. She keeps sessions straightforward and oriented toward what the client wants to change next.

How her approaches fit into online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress by breaking down big problems into smaller steps and testing new ways of coping.Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to talk about change when someone feels unsure or stuck. It helps clarify what matters to the person and builds motivation one small goal at a time.
She combines these methods with Solution-Focused Therapy to identify practical goals and track progress. Together these approaches help clients set realistic targets and try new strategies between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and help decide what to try first. That plan can change as progress is made, keeping the work tailored and collaborative.
Online sessions offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick reflections, written coaching, and ongoing contact between sessions.
