About Spencer
Spencer Bedwell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Mexico with three years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life changes.
Spencer uses practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on concrete skills for managing anxiety, routines that reduce stress, and steps to rebuild confidence after difficult experiences. He also helps people reassess life purpose and manage workplace or veteran-related concerns.
His work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside motivational interviewing and narrative and solution-focused ideas. That means sessions often include identifying patterns of thinking, testing small behavior changes, and clarifying short-term goals. Conversations aim to be direct and structured so progress can be tracked over time.
Spencer commonly supports people processing post-traumatic stress and social anxiety, and he helps those coping with paranoia-related distress or midlife transitions. He offers straightforward strategies for pacing recovery and reducing day-to-day disruption.
New Mexico is his practice location and he conducts sessions in English. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session options and formats to match their needs.
How CBT and brief therapies translate to online work
Spencer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and depression. CBT sessions often include concrete homework, practice exercises, and step-by-step plans to adjust routines and reactions. He also draws on motivational interviewing to clarify personal goals and strengthen motivation for change. Narrative and solution-focused ideas are used to separate problems from identity and to set short-term, achievable targets. These approaches help with trauma recovery, social anxiety, workplace stress, and midlife decision making. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Spencer will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means checking progress and adjusting techniques to match what helps in day-to-day life. Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins during a work break or a focused hour in the evening. Discussing practical timing and session length during the matching process helps plan how to use therapy most effectively.Areas of expertise
