About Merion
Merion Haworth is an LCSW licensed in New Mexico with more than 30 years of clinical experience. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and ADHD among the issues she helps people with. Sessions are offered in English and she notes experience with faith-informed care.
Merion frames her work around conversation and practical steps. She draws on client-centered methods to listen to each person's priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different responses.
Her background includes more than two decades working in school settings, where she supported children and the adults around them. She also has experience addressing aging and geriatric issues, blended family challenges, cancer-related concerns, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness.
In practice she uses a mix of short-term approaches and longer discussion. Solution-focused techniques may be used to set concrete goals and track progress. Psychodynamic ideas can be part of conversations about how past relationships influence present feelings.
Merion notes that faith can matter in care and that she has provided Christian-based therapy when that was important to clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can name what matters most. In online sessions this can mean sitting with a single concern and shaping conversation around the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests new behaviors; online work often uses brief exercises between sessions to try changes in daily life. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify what someone wants to change and builds small steps toward that goal. Finding the best fit is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which approach or combination to use and adjust it as progress and needs become clearer. Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Ask about how sessions are scheduled and how the subscription works so you can fit therapy into your routine. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or pick a quieter hour during the day, and those practical adjustments can help therapy fit into everyday life.Areas of expertise
