About Meredith
Meredith Bauer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 15 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and parenting strains.
She trained in psychology at the undergraduate level and holds a Master of Social Work. Much of her career has been in healthcare settings where she helped families manage crisis and chronic illness. That background includes work with older adults and people facing life-limiting conditions.
Meredith describes her style as solution-focused. She concentrates on practical steps in the here and now. Sessions tend to center on small changes that add up to better day-to-day functioning.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered ideas and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Solution-Focused Therapy. She works collaboratively with each person to set goals and try strategies that fit their life. The work is practical and aimed at improving coping, sleep, and communication.
Outside of clinical work she is a wife and parent of three college-age children, and she cares for several dogs. That personal experience informs a grounded, household-focused perspective on parenting and family stress. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and prioritizing the person's concerns. It helps when someone needs time to talk through feelings about parenting, grief, or relationship strain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and introduces practical exercises to change them, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems, and mood. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on immediate goals and small steps that can be tried between sessions to produce noticeable changes.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Meredith works together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and everyday life. That collaborative decision-making helps keep sessions focused and relevant to what a person wants to accomplish.
Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter focused check-ins, and reduce time spent traveling. For practical issues like limited bandwidth or preferring not to use video, those details are discussed and arranged when scheduling so sessions match a person's routine and technical needs.
