Meredith Fiedler , LCSW

Meredith Fiedler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with 13 years of experience providing therapy to adults and more than 20 years working in mental health and substance abuse fields. She brings trauma-informed care to her work and focuses on a broad spectrum of concerns, including mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety, addiction, stress management, self-esteem difficulties, relationship and family challenges, grief, and trauma and abuse.

Her approach is collaborative and client-centered, beginning with the client’s needs and goals and building on individual strengths. She uses a flexible mix of evidence-informed methods - including cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused strategies, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing - to tailor interventions to each person’s situation. Meredith emphasizes practical skills for coping with life changes, managing emotions, and addressing problematic patterns like codependency, impulsivity, or substance use.

Meredith prioritizes creating a non-judgmental atmosphere where adults can explore thoughts and feelings and work toward meaningful change. She supports people through transitions, trauma recovery, and challenges related to identity, career, and relationships, helping them find actionable steps that align with their values and goals.

Therapeutic Methods for Online Care

Meredith integrates client-centered therapy into her online work, which means therapy is guided by the individual’s values, priorities, and pace. This approach emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and tailoring sessions to what matters most to each person, and it suits people seeking a supportive space to explore goals and personal growth.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a structured approach that helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical for managing anxiety, depression, mood symptoms, and stress through skill-building and problem-solving.

Mindfulness therapy is another tool she employs, teaching techniques to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to distressing thoughts or emotions. Mindfulness can support emotional regulation, stress reduction, and coping with persistent worry.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Meredith works with each person to determine which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting as progress unfolds so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, reduced travel time, and easier access from different locations within Florida. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent care in ways that match a client’s routine and communication style.
