About Meredith

Meredith Wunsch is a licensed professional counselor with 11 years of experience based in Texas. She has worked as both a mental health counselor and a school counselor, helping people facing depression, anxiety, addiction, and relationship stress. Parents often find her practical and down-to-earth in conversations about family and parenting.

Meredith uses a respectful, nonjudgmental style in sessions. Before working privately she spent time supporting families and students in special education settings within school districts.

Background and approach

That experience informs how she approaches blended family issues, caregiver stress, and parenting challenges. She has also supported people coping with trauma, abuse, fertility concerns, pregnancy and childbirth issues, and grief. Her counseling style is warm and interactive.

She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with sensitivity and compassion. Meredith pulls from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and emotionally-focused therapy to shape practical steps and new ways of relating. In a typical session she listens closely, helps identify useful skills, and works with each person to build a plan that fits their life.

Sessions often focus on solving communication problems, managing anxiety and anger, and handling life changes. Coaching and career concerns are also part of her work. Meredith holds an LPC credential and tailors therapy to each person’s needs.

If someone is ready to change, she focuses on support, small steps, and practical tools to build more satisfying family life and personal wellbeing.

Online approaches that fit family life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions in line with those values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression and worry. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on improving emotional connection and communication in relationships, which can be helpful for intimacy and family problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Meredith will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adapts techniques over time, mixing ideas from different approaches when that helps move things forward.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy families. Video calls reproduce face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when video is not possible, and live chat or text messaging provide shorter, on-the-go check-ins and skill practice. These options make it easier to fit counseling into school schedules, work routines, and caregiving responsibilities while still working with a licensed professional.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
