About Merion

Merion Haworth is a licensed clinical social worker based in New Mexico who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She brings three decades of professional experience to her practice and aims to meet clients where they are, adapting conversations and treatment plans to each person's particular situation and goals. Her approach reflects respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she integrates evidence-based methods to address mood, panic, obsessive patterns, communication problems, and challenges related to isolation or life transitions.

Merion also has background working in school settings and offers support around issues such as blended family dynamics, grief related to cancer, aging and geriatric matters, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and seasonal mood shifts. She encourages people to take the first step toward care and works collaboratively to tailor therapy to individual needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Merion often blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to create a practical, person-focused approach. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, helping clients explore their values, strengths, and concerns while the therapist follows the client's lead. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing concrete strategies to change how a person feels and acts, which can be helpful for anxiety, mood issues, and impulse-related challenges.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Merion works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time based on how the work is progressing.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. These formats can make it easier to maintain consistent appointments, access care from different locations within New Mexico, and use brief check-ins or longer sessions according to what a client finds most helpful.
