Meredith Fiedler

Meredith Fiedler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with 13 years as a therapist and over 20 years in mental health and substance use fields. She works with adults 18 and older and supports people facing mood concerns, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and stress. Meredith focuses on practical steps that fit each person's life and goals.

Her work begins by listening to what matters to the client and shaping treatment around those priorities. She uses client-centered methods so the person’s experience guides each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused strategies are used to identify patterns and create small, doable changes.

Mindfulness techniques are included to help people manage overwhelming thoughts and strong emotions in the moment. Motivational interviewing tools are used when change feels stuck, especially around substance use or behavior shifts. Meredith aims to build on strengths while addressing the things that get in the way of progress.

She describes her stance as collaborative and nonjudgmental. Sessions emphasize clear goals, steady progress, and practical coping skills for day-to-day life. Many people seek support for grief, relationship strain, career concerns, self-esteem, and co-occurring issues such as mood disorders and addiction.

Meredith encourages people to reach out when life feels overwhelming or uncertain. She guides clients in sorting priorities, making plans that fit, and taking the next steps toward more manageable days.

How Meredith’s approaches translate to online care

Meredith uses client-centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to focus on immediate problems and practical steps. Client-centered work means the therapist follows the client’s lead, builds trust, and adapts to each person’s values and schedule. CBT helps spot unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replace them with more effective actions and coping strategies.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to teach simple attention and breathing skills that reduce reactivity to stress. These skills can be practiced between sessions and often help with anxiety, mood swings, and cravings. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process; Meredith will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches match their goals and daily life.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support steady work on goals from wherever the client is located. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and mindfulness practices to remote sessions so therapy stays practical and goal-focused.
