About Meredith

Meredith focuses on understanding how life events shape thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
She helps people connect the dots between past experiences and present challenges so they can make lasting changes.
How Meredith works
Sessions are meant to be a supportive, nonjudgmental space where people can talk openly about hard things. Her background includes work across community settings, inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient therapy. That range has given practical experience with addictions, trauma, mood disorders, and co-occurring concerns.
Meredith draws on a social work perspective that looks at the whole environment around a person when planning change. In session she emphasizes trust and perspective taking, and builds on each person’s strengths. Meredith uses straightforward tools to manage emotions, reduce unhelpful thinking, and improve communication.
She also helps people develop coping skills for chronic pain, life transitions, and caregiver fatigue. People meet her for short-term problem solving and longer-term work to address deeper patterns. Meredith blends coaching-style guidance with reflective listening so clients can set goals and practice new habits between meetings.

Online support options
Approaches and online therapy that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person where they are. It helps people feel heard and builds a respectful relationship that supports change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness when strong emotions interfere with daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Meredith will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in over time and adjusts the focus so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Online therapy makes regular work on goals easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when discussion and visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging let people use written check-ins and between-session support. These formats offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels while keeping the same therapeutic aims.
