Ivy Medow, LPC - Therapist in Oregon

About Ivy

Ivy Medow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oregon with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on everyday problems like career concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Ivy also pays attention to issues that come from caregiving and aging.

She aims to make the first step easier for people who feel uncertain about starting therapy. Ivy uses straightforward conversations to identify practical goals. She helps clients break problems into small, manageable steps.

Background and approach

Her style is respectful and direct, with an emphasis on self-care and addressing compassion fatigue. She treats people with sensitivity and welcomes diverse backgrounds. In sessions Ivy draws on several concrete methods.

She uses mindfulness practices to help people notice stress and ground themselves. Motivational interviewing supports shifts in motivation and helps clients find reasons to change. Narrative and solution-focused ideas guide clients to reframe stories and try small experiments that build confidence.

People who want a collaborative, goal-oriented approach often find her helpful. Ivy works with the pace each person needs and checks in about progress regularly. She focuses on clear next steps rather than long lists of tasks.

For parents or caregivers juggling responsibilities, Ivy prioritizes realistic strategies for stress and burnout. She will listen to the life demands you bring and work with you to set achievable priorities and self-care habits.

Approaches that translate well to online sessions

Mindfulness Therapy helps people slow down and notice what is happening in the body and mind. Online sessions can include short guided breathing or grounding exercises to manage stress and improve focus. Motivational Interviewing focuses on drawing out a person’s own reasons for change through open questions and reflective listening; it can be used to work through career shifts, caregiving decisions, or boosting motivation for self-care.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort with online tools. That process may include trying different techniques and adjusting based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and for those balancing family or caregiving roles. Ivy provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different preferences. These options make it easier to keep appointments, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when life gets hectic.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
