About Meredith

Meredith Bauer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 15 years of experience.

Background and approach

She brings a practical, problem-solving orientation to therapy and often focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions.

Her practice also addresses compassion fatigue, ADHD, and a broad range of related concerns such as chronic pain, caregiver stress, mood disorders, and issues around end-of-life care. Meredith's background includes substantial work in healthcare settings supporting families through crisis and the management of chronic and life-limiting illnesses.

She describes therapy as a collaborative effort and emphasizes solution-focused strategies that target present-day challenges. Clients can expect an approach informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered principles, and solution-focused techniques, with an emphasis on practical coping skills and real-world problem solving.

Outside of her clinical work she is a wife and a mother to three college-age children, and she shares her home with four dogs. Meredith offers sessions in English and practices under Texas license TX LCSW 53456.

Practical Therapies for Everyday Challenges Online



Meredith uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop skills for changing behaviors and moods; this approach is well suited for anxiety, depression, insomnia, and stress-related concerns. She also employs Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on current strengths and small, achievable steps to move toward specific goals and reduce immediate burdens.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Meredith treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help determine which combination of client-centered listening, CBT techniques, and solution-focused strategies best matches a person's needs, goals, and preferences as sessions progress.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and different communication styles. These formats make it easier to fit consistent care into busy lives, access support from home, and continue treatment during times when in-person visits are difficult, while allowing therapists and clients to tailor the pace and structure of sessions to what works best.
