About Merrie
Merrie Bartlett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 23 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Many clients also bring parenting concerns, family conflict, caregiver stress, and workplace problems.
Merrie describes therapy as a practical place to find more calm in everyday life. She helps people name the obstacles that keep them from feeling steady and then tries out ways to reduce those stressors. Sessions are meant to be straightforward and focused on what matters most to the client.
Her background spans over two decades in social work practice. That experience informs how she notices patterns and suggests concrete steps clients can try between sessions. Merrie combines different methods rather than using a single rigid model, adjusting what she does to fit the problem at hand.
In a meeting with her, clients can expect clear goals and regular check-ins on progress. She invites people to set goals for therapy and reviews those goals as work moves forward. The emphasis is on practical coping, better communication, and small changes that add up.
Merrie often helps people navigate divorce and separation, midlife questions, and issues around life purpose and self-regard. She also supports those facing communication breakdowns and the ongoing strain of caregiving. The overall aim is to increase moments of calm and greater ease in day-to-day life.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based methods are used online
Many clients benefit from approaches that teach specific skills. Cognitive techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing alternatives; these methods help with anxiety and low mood by changing how situations are interpreted. Behavioral strategies involve setting small, doable actions between sessions to build new routines and reduce avoidance, which can help with depression and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their concerns, goals, and preferences. This is a joint process with regular review and adjustment as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins during a break at work. Different formats also help when someone prefers not to use video or needs a briefer session style. Discussing practical logistics is part of the first appointment so sessions can fit into everyday life.
