About Meredith
Meredith Dietrich is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 12 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and depression. Meredith also addresses anger, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, and a range of mood and life-change challenges.
She starts from a practical stance: clients know their story and bring strengths to therapy. Sessions are focused on clarifying what feels most urgent and on building skills to handle those moments. Meredith talks through specific reactions and helps clients notice patterns that keep problems cycling.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, mood disorders, panic, and anxiety, and to improve communication and coping. Conversations tend to move between understanding experiences and trying new ways of responding in daily life.
Meredith pays particular attention to issues around control, guilt, shame, and self-esteem. She also supports people working through body image, sexuality, and prejudice-related stress. Practical strategies for managing intense emotions and recurring thought patterns are a common part of sessions.
Clients can expect focused, collaborative work aimed at clearer choices and steadier reactions. Meredith encourages small, manageable steps that fit into busy lives. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English.
How sessions work
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Meredith uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address strong emotions and stressful reactions. For example, trauma-focused approaches help process past hurt and reduce its hold on present behavior. These methods focus on safe, stepwise work to lessen intrusive memories and reactivity.She also uses cognitive and behavioral techniques to change thought patterns and reactions. These approaches lay out clear skills to test in daily life, such as noticing automatic thoughts, trying alternative responses, and practicing new behaviors. They are often useful for anxiety, panic, mood shifts, and anger that shows up as repeated reactions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Meredith will collaborate with each person to identify what fits their goals and preferences. That often means trying a couple of techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting course together.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue work while traveling or living outside the therapist's immediate area.
