About Meredith
Meredith Wood-Edman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 20 years of experience. She frames therapy as a chance to find new hope and small breakthroughs that lead to real change.
Background and approach
Meredith focuses on clear, practical steps and aims to make sessions feel manageable for people under stress. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions.
She also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, addictions, anger, and low self-esteem. Meredith lists ADHD, communication problems, and self-love among her areas of focus.
Her approach blends several methods. She uses the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and communication, attachment-based ideas to explore how early bonds affect current life, and client-centered techniques to create a respectful, collaborative space.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices are used to build new thinking and coping skills. Sessions are practical and varied.
Meredith may use role-play, journaling, talk, or mindfulness exercises to help someone practice new ways of relating and coping. She also draws on creative options such as music, art, and poetry when useful.
The tone is straightforward and compassionate, focused on tangible progress. Meredith works with individuals across many concerns, including adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, and multicultural concerns.
Her work aims to increase insight, strengthen communication, and help people move forward with clearer goals.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Meredith commonly blends the Gottman Method and attachment-based ideas in her work. The Gottman Method looks at patterns of communication and everyday interactions to help people reduce conflict and build better connection. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions, which can help with longing, trust, and closeness issues.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person in the room. That means the therapist listens closely, follows the client's lead, and adapts techniques to fit goals and comfort. Figuring out which approach fits best is a shared process; Meredith helps clients test different ways of working as needs and goals become clearer.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people practice communication in real time. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging can support quick reflections, between-session coaching, or ongoing check-ins that fit a busy schedule. These options make it easier to work on relationships, grief, or stress without changing daily routines.
