About Spencer
Spencer Bedwell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Mexico with three years of clinical experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and people who are coping with big life changes. He also focuses on life purpose, midlife transitions, workplace issues, social anxiety, and military-related concerns.
Spencer draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions emphasize clear, practical steps clients can try between meetings. Conversations often include identifying thinking patterns, testing small behavior changes, and telling the stories that shape how people see themselves.
He offers straightforward work on self-esteem and coping skills. For trauma-related issues he helps people name what happened and build strategies to reduce distressing reactions. With workplace or performance worries he looks at specific thoughts and actions that get in the way and develops manageable alternatives.
When someone is unsure about purpose after a major change, Spencer uses questions and short exercises to clarify values and next steps. Motivational Interviewing techniques are used to help people find internal reasons to try different behaviors. Solution-Focused tools help establish immediate, achievable goals.

How Spencer Uses Practical Therapies Online
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, workplace stress, and social fears by giving concrete exercises to try between sessions.Motivational Interviewing uses open questions and reflective listening to surface personal reasons for change. This approach helps when someone feels ambivalent about next steps or about trying new behaviors after a life change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss how these methods might fit the person's goals and preferences, and adjust techniques based on what helps most. That collaborative decision happens early and can shift over time.
