Meredith Hinson, LCSW

Meredith Hinson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who approaches counseling from the belief that people have the capacity and resources to shape meaningful lives. She helps people connect the dots between life experiences and current patterns of thinking, feeling, and behavior so they can identify what needs to change and sustain those changes over time. Her work emphasizes clarity and practical steps while honoring each person’s unique history and strengths.

Trust and the willingness to consider another perspective are central to her practice. Meredith builds on clients’ existing strengths and uses a social work lens to consider how environment and relationships influence mental health and wellbeing. She creates a supportive, nonjudgmental therapeutic space where exploration of life events and emotions can occur at a manageable pace.

Since 2015, Meredith has provided counseling across community settings, inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient therapy, with outpatient work being a primary strength and preference. Her training includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and holistic approaches, and she uses client-centered techniques alongside cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness strategies, motivational interviewing, solution-focused methods, and trauma-focused interventions. Meredith works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, and challenges related to self-esteem and life transitions.
