Dr. Meagan Monteiro, LICSW

Dr. Meagan Monteiro is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with 20 years of experience. She helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and problems that come with life changes such as grief, caregiving, adoption, and blended family issues.

She has practiced in many settings including hospitals, schools, homeless and domestic violence shelters, military environments, and clients' homes. That variety shaped a practical style that focuses on clear steps and solutions rather than long theory talks. Sessions tend to focus on manageable changes a person can try between meetings.

Meagan has worked with veterans, prospective adoptive parents, birthparents, couples, and older adults. She has supported people facing trauma, addictions, intimacy problems, fertility and immigration stress, and the challenges of aging and hospice decisions. She draws on methods that target specific thoughts and behaviors and that build motivation for change.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy, aiming to identify small shifts that make daily life easier. In practice this looks like setting concrete goals, testing small changes, and reviewing what worked.

People who come for help often want practical tools they can use right away. Meagan emphasizes straightforward plans, short-term problem solving, and follow-up on progress. She asks clients to identify one or two goals and then works collaboratively to move toward them.
