    About Merion

    Merion Haworth is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of practice in New Mexico. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and ADHD. Merion aims to meet people where they are and speak plainly about the next steps in treatment.

    She draws on a mix of approaches to tailor care to each person. Sessions emphasize listening first and then setting clear, manageable goals. Merion balances practical tools with space to talk through past experiences that shape current struggles.

    Merion has long experience working in school settings and other community roles. That background informs how she helps people manage day-to-day challenges and family-related strain. She also has experience offering faith-informed support when clients request that perspective.

    Her style blends short-term problem solving with deeper exploration when it feels helpful. She will work with each person to build specific strategies for stress, mood, and relationships. The goal is to create a plan that fits daily life and personal values.

    Merion emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions. She invites people to take the first step and will adapt conversations and plans to their needs and goals.

  2. How her methods translate to online work

    Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change by focusing on their values and goals. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build commitment and reduce resistance, often useful for motivation around mood, habits, or ADHD-related challenges.

    Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and understanding without judgment. This approach creates space to talk through feelings and relationships and helps people feel heard while deciding what to work on next.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Merion will collaborate with each person to test what helps most, switching between goal-focused tools and deeper conversation based on needs and preferences.

    Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins on busy days, and remove travel time so therapy fits into everyday life. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, goal-setting, and reflective conversation to an online setting to keep progress moving forward.
