About Meridith
Meridith Crocco is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She has ten years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or depression. She also supports concerns such as ADHD, grief, relationship struggles, and issues with self-esteem.
Her style is calm and approachable. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals. She combines listening with action so people leave with tools they can use right away.
Background and approach
Meridith draws from several methods including cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based strategies. She pays attention to relationship patterns and attachment dynamics to understand how past connections affect current behavior. Mindfulness and emotionally-focused work are also part of her toolbox when they fit a person's needs.
In a typical session she will listen to what matters most, offer reflections, and suggest simple experiments to try between meetings. The aim is to reduce distress, improve communication, and build routines that support everyday functioning. She helps people sort priorities and make steady progress toward their goals.
People who come to her often want both immediate relief and longer-term change. Her approach mixes short-term coping skills with attention to underlying patterns. That combination is meant to help someone manage current challenges while reducing the chance those issues return.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people create healthier ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video can be useful for deeper conversational work, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be good for short check-ins or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
