Meredith Fiedler, LCSW

Meredith Fiedler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She brings 13 years of clinical therapy experience and more than two decades in mental health and substance use fields. Meredith focuses on mood disorders, anxiety, addiction, trauma, stress, and relationship concerns.

Meredith centers sessions on each person’s priorities. She uses a client-centered approach to learn what matters most to the individual. Then she adds practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to address thinking patterns and immediate problems.

Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are part of her toolkit. These techniques help with managing strong emotions, building motivation to change, and staying present during stressful moments. Meredith aims to help people build on strengths and try small changes that make daily life easier.

She has a trauma-informed perspective and often supports people dealing with grief, anger, codependency, impulsivity, and co-morbid concerns such as mood disorders combined with substance use. Her work also covers career stress, compassion fatigue, and issues around identity including LGBT concerns.

Meredith stresses collaboration and fit. She invites clients to shape goals and pick methods that feel useful. Starting therapy, she helps people map clear, achievable steps toward feeling better.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s priorities first and focuses sessions on what the client wants to change. In this approach the therapist listens carefully and helps shape goals that feel important and realistic.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, often helping with anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple present-moment practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness. It can help people manage strong emotions, improve focus, and handle urges linked to addiction or impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Meredith will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the mix of tools over time so the approach fits day-to-day life rather than forcing a single method.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit in a workday break, reduce travel time, and allow follow-ups without rearranging a whole day. Online work also makes it easier to practice skills between sessions and to bring real-life problems into conversation for immediate problem-solving.
