About Meredith
Meredith Bauer is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience. She practices in Texas and helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or family concerns. Meredith also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving strain, sleep problems, ADHD, and the emotional fallout from trauma and abuse.
She trained in social work after earning an undergraduate degree in psychology. Much of her career has been in healthcare settings helping people and their families navigate crises and long-term illness.
Background and approach
That background shapes how she approaches common life challenges today. In sessions she focuses on practical problem solving and what will help most right now. Meredith describes her style as solution-focused and collaborative.
She works with each person to set manageable goals and build small steps toward them. Meredith also uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral methods to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Those approaches are used alongside solution-focused strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.
She frames therapy as a joint effort between therapist and client. Outside of work she is a spouse and parent, and she mentions caregiving roles in her personal life. That lived experience informs her empathy for people handling family responsibility, aging or end-of-life concerns, and the stress of medical caregiving.
Approaches that fit your life and schedule
Meredith uses client-centered work to place your goals and experience at the center of each session. That means the conversation follows what matters most to you and the therapist reflects and clarifies to help you make decisions.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. CBT-style work can help with anxiety, mood changes, sleep issues, and unhelpful habits by teaching practical skills and new routines.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Meredith will talk with you about your goals and preferences and try different strategies until you find what helps. She frames therapy as a joint project where you both track progress and adjust the plan as needed.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation when a longer session is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, follow-up notes, or when scheduling a quick touchpoint during a hectic day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
