About Meredith
Meredith Bauer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 15 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting strains, self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She also notes experience with blended family issues among other focus areas.
She trained in social work after completing an undergraduate degree in psychology and then earned a Master of Social Work. Much of her career has been spent in healthcare settings. There she supported people and their loved ones through crises and the management of chronic and life-limiting illnesses.
Her approach is practical and present-focused. She describes herself as solution-focused and uses Client-Centered Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when helpful. Sessions are collaborative; the therapist and client set goals and try straightforward steps to address problems now.
Meredith draws on years of working with older adults and people facing serious illness, and she brings that experience into common family concerns. She also mentions parenting and blended household issues as matters she sees frequently.
Outside clinical work she is married and has three children in college, plus four dogs. Her background in healthcare settings shapes how she helps people manage stress, caregiver strain, and difficult life transitions.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in the room. It centers the client's concerns and priorities, with the therapist listening and responding in ways that reflect what matters most to the client. This approach can help when someone needs a space to sort feelings about family role changes or grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change patterns that worsen anxiety, low mood, or sleep problems. CBT can be useful for managing stress, improving sleep, and reducing repetitive unhelpful thinking.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes brief, goal-oriented work. Sessions concentrate on practical steps and strategies that make everyday life more manageable. This approach is often chosen when people want concrete changes in routines, co-parenting arrangements, or household roles.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Those practical benefits can help people keep therapy consistent while handling the demands of family life.
