Background and approach

Her background is social work, and she draws on seven years of community and clinical experience. She has worked in inpatient care, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient settings, and standard outpatient therapy. Outpatient work is her main area of practice.

In sessions she uses client-centered conversations alongside goal-oriented strategies. Clients can expect a mix of skills practice, reflective talk, and planning for small steps between meetings. Meredith also incorporates mindfulness and motivation-focused techniques to support change.

She works with a wide range of concerns including relationship struggles, grief, chronic illness or pain, eating and body image issues, and career stress. Meredith pays attention to how people interact with others and how attachment and abandonment experiences shape current patterns. Her aim is practical progress, one step at a time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Meredith uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. That approach breaks problems into specific patterns to work on with practical exercises and between-session tasks.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal communication. These skills are taught step by step and can be practiced during and between sessions to manage strong emotions and relationship stress.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, trial different techniques, and adapt methods based on what feels most useful. Clients and therapist decide together which strategies to keep using as work progresses.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for full conversations and skill coaching, phone can be a good shorter check-in, and chat or messaging work well for quick updates or times when typing fits a schedule. These options make it easier to keep consistency and fit therapy into a busy life.
