About Meredith
Meredith Millen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with two decades of clinical experience in New York. She offers a calm, adaptive approach for people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions. Meredith emphasizes respectful, nonjudgmental care and works to help clients set realistic goals they can reach over time.
Her practice draws from several evidence-based methods so each session fits the person in front of her. Meredith uses client-centered conversation alongside solution-focused techniques and behavior strategies when those tools are helpful.
Background and approach
She also integrates trauma-informed practices and mindfulness to help manage strong emotions like panic, shame, or anger. Meredith has experience supporting people through relationship shifts, attachment concerns, abandonment issues, and the strain of caregiving. She also addresses body image, self-esteem, mood challenges, and the effects of loss.
Sessions focus on practical steps - clarifying goals, building coping skills, and practicing new ways of responding to stress. Most work is offered virtually and Meredith is comfortable using a mix of talk therapy, behavioral planning, and awareness practices to meet each person’s needs. She supports LGBTQIA2S+ clients and accepts international clients who can work in English.
Her approach is collaborative: she and the client review progress and adjust methods as needed. Meredith encourages realistic expectations and open communication about what is working and what needs to change.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Meredith often uses cognitive behavioral techniques that help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice new responses to anxiety and panic. These methods break problems into manageable steps and focus on skills you can use between sessions.She also draws on trauma-informed practices that prioritize safety and pacing while addressing past hurts and reactions. Mindfulness and awareness exercises are used to build tolerance for strong emotions and to reduce reactivity in stressful moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Meredith collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and situation. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan as needs and progress change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls let you work face-to-face from a distance, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins and ongoing reflection. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while still using evidence-based techniques.
