About Meredith
Meredith Millen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults in individual therapy and with couples, and she provides many sessions virtually. Meredith also supports LGBTQIA2S+ clients and accepts international clients who prefer online care.
Her approach blends ideas from several therapeutic traditions so treatment fits each person. She uses goal-oriented problem solving and solution-focused techniques to address stress, anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and coping with life changes.
How Meredith works
Trauma, grief, and issues around self-esteem and body image are common topics in her work. Sessions often include practical skills and strategies. That can mean learning coping tools for panic attacks, practicing communication skills, or developing steps to rebuild self-love after loss.
Meredith values mindfulness and conscious awareness as tools to reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation. She also attends to attachment-related problems such as abandonment fears and difficulty trusting others. When relevant, work can include processing post-traumatic stress and addressing guilt, shame, or isolation.
Meredith frames progress as a collaborative effort and sets short-term goals to track change. For people juggling caregiving responsibilities or facing separation and divorce, she focuses on coping strategies and boundary setting. Counseling may also explore life purpose, forgiveness, and healing from abuse.
Meredith emphasizes steady commitment and realistic expectations while supporting each person’s unique path.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Meredith uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are adaptable to virtual sessions. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new responses; this helps with anxiety, panic, and mood concerns by teaching concrete skills to change reactions. Trauma-focused work involves pacing, grounding skills, and processing upsetting memories in ways that build safety and tolerance. Mindfulness and conscious awareness practices teach simple breathing and attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, past experiences, and preferences to tailor a plan. Meredith checks in regularly and adjusts techniques as progress and needs evolve so the method fits the person rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all model.
Online formats offer practical advantages. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice new skills in real time. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when being off camera feels easier. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, written coaching, and follow-up between sessions. These options make therapy flexible and easier to fit into busy lives while keeping the focus on consistent, goal-driven work.
