About Merion

Merion Haworth is a licensed clinical social worker with three decades of experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, trauma, and ADHD. Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth, and she aims to meet people where they are.

She uses conversational therapy to tailor sessions to each person's needs. That can mean problem-solving conversations, looking at thought patterns, or exploring personal history to better understand present struggles. She often draws on practical strategies alongside deeper reflection so clients leave with both insight and tools they can try between sessions.

Merion has worked many years in school settings and has supported people through life transitions such as pregnancy and childbirth, cancer, and aging concerns. She also addresses issues like isolation, communication problems, guilt and shame, obsessions and compulsions, panic, and seasonal mood changes.

Her style is collaborative and calm. She listens first, then helps people set small, manageable goals. Motivational techniques and solution-focused conversations are part of how she helps clients move forward when motivation or direction feel stuck.

Based in New Mexico, Merion offers services in English. If you think you might want to work together, you can start by completing the service's matching steps and scheduling a session to see if the fit feels right.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. It helps when someone needs a caring space to talk through feeling overwhelmed or unsure about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive patterns. Motivational Interviewing uses short, focused conversations to help people clarify goals and strengthen motivation to change, which can help when someone feels stuck.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on progress and comfort.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Phone or video options may help people connect without needing to be on camera or to use more data, but check the available formats when you schedule.
