Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused rather than rigid or technical. With ten years of clinical experience, Meridith draws on a range of tools to address difficult emotions, recurring behaviors, and patterns in relationships. She helps people notice what matters most, choose actions that match their values, and practice new skills in manageable steps.
Therapy often includes skill-building, reflection, and planning practical experiments to test changes. Her work often centers on common, everyday concerns like stress at work, parenting challenges, communication problems, and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with trauma, attachment issues, bipolar mood patterns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is patient and direct, offering clear feedback and supportive guidance. Based in New York, Meridith meets people where they are and helps them move toward more satisfying routines and relationships. She encourages simple, sustainable changes that fit into a busy life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify their personal values and take action toward them even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and uncertainty about life direction.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and expectations. It helps people improve how they connect with others and respond to relationship stress.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, is practical and skills-oriented. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they choose strategies and adjust them over time so the plan fits the person’s life.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets you use face-to-face conversation when needed, phone can be an easier option if bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy flexible and easier to fit into a busy schedule.
