In 1996, Monroe made the transition into acting when she was cast as Tracy Dalken in [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] series ''[[Dangerous Minds (TV series)|Dangerous Minds]]'', which led to a small recurring role on ''[[Sunset Beach (TV series)|Sunset Beach]]'' as Rachel, a pregnant teenager. This led to her being cast as a series regular on ''Dawson's Creek'' in the role of Andie. She was a series regular in seasons 2 and 3, appeared in several episodes at the beginning and end of season 4, and was a special guest star in the series finale in season 6 (though her scenes were cut from the televised episode, appearing only on the DVD extended-cut release).

She is also known for her role in ''[[Criminal Minds]]'' as Haley Hotchner, [[Aaron Hotchner]]'s wife. Monroe left the series after her character was murdered by a recurring villain, The Boston Reaper ([[C. Thomas Howell]]), in the 100th episode. In 2018, she joined the cast of ''[[13 Reasons Why]]'' in season two as Carolyn, the mother of Alex Standall.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://deadline.com/2017/08/13-reasons-why-season-2-cast-jake-weber-brenda-strong-meredith-monroe-rj-brown-1202146420/|title='13 Reasons Why': Jake Weber, Brenda Strong, Meredith Monroe & RJ Brown Join Season 2 Cast|last=Petski|first=Denise|date=2017-08-10|work=Deadline|access-date=2018-05-19|language=en-US}}</ref>
