About Ivy

Ivy Medow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oregon with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical concerns like career questions, self-esteem, and coping with major life changes. Ivy pays particular attention to stress that comes from caregiving and to compassion fatigue.

She aims to make the first step of seeking help feel achievable and straightforward. Ivy uses a collaborative style in sessions. She treats people with respect and listens for the story behind their struggles.

Background and approach

Together with a client she sets clear goals and lays out simple steps to try between meetings. Sessions are meant to feel like problem-solving rather than long lectures. She draws on Narrative Therapy to help people rethink the stories they tell about themselves.

Mindfulness-based ideas are used to build calm and focus when emotions feel overwhelming. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused techniques help people find what matters and take small, useful actions toward change. Ivy also supports people facing aging concerns, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life issues, and traumatic brain injury adjustments.

She attends to cultural differences and the effects of prejudice and discrimination when these shape a persons experience. Ivy emphasizes self-care and self-compassion as concrete tools for everyday life. Her approach suits people who want clear goals and practical steps.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so therapy can fit into a busy schedule. Ivy encourages anyone feeling stuck to try a short intake and see if the fit feels right.

Online session options

How narrative and mindfulness approaches work online

Online sessions with Ivy often use Narrative Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy together. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and looks for ways to separate a person from a problem so new choices become possible. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve focus in daily life.

Ivy treats finding the right approach as a shared process. She will talk with each person about their goals and try different methods to see what fits. The plan is adjusted over time so it reflects the client's needs, values, and pace of change.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can be good for short check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers typed conversation. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
