About Merrie
Merrie Bartlett is a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years of experience who helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, and life changes. She writes and talks simply so worried parents can understand the steps ahead. Her work focuses on easing distress and finding more calm in daily life.
She begins by asking what peace would look like for each person and then identifies the obstacles in the way.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical, understandable steps to reduce stress and manage anxiety. She also supports people coping with depression, caregiver strain, workplace tension, communication problems, and the challenges that follow divorce or separation. Merrie uses an adaptable, eclectic approach that is tailored to each person’s needs.
That means she draws on evidence-based techniques and chooses tools that fit the individual rather than using one fixed method. She helps people set clear goals and offers straightforward strategies to reach them. Clients can expect collaborative conversations about life purpose, self-love, and midlife transitions alongside tangible skills for daily coping.
She emphasizes small changes that add up, like new ways to handle difficult conversations or reduce chronic stress. Merrie practices in New York as an LCSW, and she conducts sessions in English.

How evidence-based approaches guide online care
Merrie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people reduce stress and manage anxiety. One common approach focuses on skills practice for managing anxious thoughts and bodily tension, teaching breathing, grounding, and planning steps to handle difficult moments. Another approach emphasizes problem-solving and communication skills to improve interactions at home and work, which can ease caregiver strain and parenting stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options with each person and help choose techniques that match personal goals, daily routines, and what feels most useful. That decision is collaborative and may shift as goals change.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and avoiding travel time. Online meetings can make it easier to have more consistent check-ins, try short focused sessions when needed, and work on communication skills between appointments. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available session options before booking to make sure they fit your needs.
