About Meredith

Meredith Bauer is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems, grief, depression, trauma, and parenting strain. Meredith is based in Texas and offers practical support for everyday struggles.

She trained in social work after studying psychology at the undergraduate level, and most of her career has been spent in healthcare settings. That background means she often helps people who are coping with chronic illness, life-limiting conditions, and the pressures those bring to daily life.

Meredith uses a solution-focused style that aims for clear, practical steps in the present. She treats therapy as a joint effort - asking questions, listening, and trying small changes to see what helps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are part of her approach when useful for managing mood or sleep patterns.

Sessions emphasize concrete strategies you can try between meetings. Meredith helps people build routines, manage overwhelming days, and steady sleep and energy where possible. She also supports those dealing with caregiving stress, relationship strain, and changes tied to aging or illness.

Her manner is straightforward and collaborative. Parents and caregivers will find simple tools and pacing that fit busy lives, and people facing grief or chronic conditions will find focused, practical guidance rather than abstract theory.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspective, giving space to talk and helping the therapist follow what matters most to the client. It is useful when someone needs listening and reflection to clarify next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and help with sleep routines. It often includes short exercises to try between meetings.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks at what is working now and builds small, useful changes quickly. This approach is aimed at improving day-to-day functioning and finding manageable steps forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then suggest one or a mix of methods to try. This is collaborative and can be adjusted based on what helps most.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings during work breaks or evenings. Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what to expect. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively over distance, focusing on routines, behavioral tasks, and problem-solving that translate well into remote sessions.
