About Meredith
Meredith Bauer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 15 years of experience. She works with adults carrying stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, ADHD, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Meredith spent much of her career in healthcare settings. She has helped people manage chronic and life-limiting illness and supported older adults and caregivers through difficult transitions. She also has experience with blended family challenges, communication problems, and end-of-life concerns.
Her approach centers on practical, short-term work alongside the person in front of her. She describes herself as a solution-focused therapist who helps people deal with current problems and identify small steps that change daily life. Cognitive behavioral ideas are used when it helps to shift thoughts and behaviors that reinforce distress.
Sessions are collaborative. Meredith aims to work with clients to set clear goals and try strategies that fit their routines. That might mean focusing on problem-solving in stressful moments, addressing relationship patterns, or developing clearer ways to manage mood and sleep.
Outside of practice she is a wife and mother, and her background in family-focused healthcare informs her attention to caregiving and medical stress. People who want pragmatic, present-focused work about guilt, shame, illness, or major life changes may find her style straightforward and goal oriented.
Approaches to use in online sessions
Meredith draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy as part of her work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to the person as they describe their life, which helps clarify what matters most in their day-to-day struggles. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and is useful for addressing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns that keep guilt or shame active. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on concrete steps and small changes you can try now to make life a bit more manageable.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust direction based on what proves helpful. That means testing small strategies and choosing what feels practical rather than insisting on one fixed model.
