About Meridith
Meridith Graham is a licensed social worker (LISW-CP) practicing in South Carolina who helps people managing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, anger, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, and ADHD.
Background and approach
She brings 13 years of clinical experience to her work and focuses on creating a respectful, compassionate environment where each person’s experience is treated as unique. Her style is collaborative and empathetic, combining evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with client-centered and trauma-focused strategies.
She uses clinical judgment to tailor conversations and treatment plans to each client’s goals and circumstances, emphasizing practical skills alongside exploration of personal meaning. Meridith describes therapy as a process that requires courage and partnership.
She encourages clients who are ready for change to take that first step and commits to supporting progress toward greater self-efficacy and wellbeing. Sessions aim to balance compassionate listening with structured interventions to address symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
Approaches That Guide Online Sessions
Meridith commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to distress, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. She also employs client-centered therapy, focusing on empathic listening and building a collaborative therapeutic relationship to support personal growth and self-understanding. Narrative therapy may be drawn upon to explore the stories people tell about their lives and to reframe those narratives in ways that promote resilience and agency.Choosing the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. She works together with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so therapy remains responsive and collaborative.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue continuity of care during life transitions, and maintain support when in-person options are limited, while still allowing for meaningful therapeutic work with a licensed professional.
