About Meredith
Meredith Bauer is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and caregiving strain. Meredith keeps language plain and practical so worried parents can read quickly and understand next steps.
She earned a Master of Social Work and has spent much of her career in healthcare settings. That work involved helping people manage chronic and life-limiting illness, and supporting those who care for loved ones.
Background and approach
Meredith also has experience with aging and geriatric issues, autism spectrum concerns, blended family questions, and chronic pain or illness. Her style is collaborative and goal-focused. She uses solution-focused methods to help people latch onto what works now and build from there.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used when helpful to identify patterns and try new behaviors. Sessions emphasize practical coping skills for sleep, attention, mood, and relationship stress. Meredith aims to make therapy useful in day-to-day life, with clear steps to try between meetings.
She frames therapy as a partnership where the client’s priorities guide the work. Outside the office, Meredith is a wife and a mother to three college-age children, and a dog owner. She practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English.
Her approach suits people who want straightforward, solution-minded support for parenting and life transitions.

Approaches that work well online for parents and caregivers
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers; the therapist reflects concerns and helps clients set the pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines unhelpful thoughts and tests small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and help with sleep or attention. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on practical steps and what is already going well, so sessions quickly produce actions to try between meetings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Meredith will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. She reviews what helps, adapts techniques over time, and checks in to see if the plan is working.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be shorter or easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text let people check in between appointments or fit a brief session into a busy day. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into parenting and caregiving routines.
