About Meredith
Meredith Dietrich is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 12 years of practice. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also supports concerns such as parenting, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, and self-esteem.
Meredith believes people bring strengths and knowledge about their own lives. In sessions she listens for those strengths and helps people apply them to current problems. Conversations are direct and focused on practical steps that can reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her approach emphasizes collaboration. She helps people name the problems that are most pressing and sets short-term goals to make steady progress. Topics often include communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, body image, and coping with life changes.
Sessions also address mood disorders, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and issues related to prejudice and discrimination. Meredith can talk through concerns about sexuality, women’s issues, and money or career stress as they affect everyday family life. She encourages gradual changes people can maintain between meetings.
Meredith works in a straightforward, practical manner. She will help you identify small adjustments and plan next steps. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and how they work online
Meredith uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common problems in daily life. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing those thoughts against real situations. This helps reduce anxiety, panic attacks, and low mood by changing patterns that keep problems going.Another approach emphasizes skills for handling intense feelings and improving communication. Skills might include grounding, emotion regulation, and clearer ways to say what you need. These skills are useful for trauma responses, anger, and relationship strain.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Meredith will collaborate with you to decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. She checks in on progress and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.
Practical benefits of working online include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day. Online work can make short check-ins simpler and reduce travel time.
