About Meredith
Meredith Fiedler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 13 years of experience as a therapist and more than 20 years in mental health and substance use fields. She works with adults 18 and over on concerns such as anxiety, mood disorders, addiction, trauma, stress, and self-esteem.
Her starting point is a client-centered approach. She asks about immediate needs and goals, then uses practical methods to address them. Typical tools include cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings.
Meredith describes herself as trauma informed and often helps people who face overlapping challenges, like mood symptoms alongside substance use or complicated grief. She pays attention to how stress and life change can affect day-to-day functioning and decision making. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal oriented.
She supports people coping with relationships, career pressures, guilt, shame, and patterns such as codependency or impulsivity. When addiction or domestic violence are part of the picture, she works with those issues alongside mood and anxiety concerns. Her practice also covers LGBT-related matters and compassion fatigue.
Meredith emphasizes finding the right fit and adapting methods to each person's preferences. She encourages people to try approaches and report back on what helped. The focus is on useful strategies, steady progress, and practical problem solving.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person's current concerns and priorities. The therapist follows what matters most to the client and shapes sessions around those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to test and change them, which often includes short exercises to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, useful for daily stress and anxiety.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Meredith will talk about options, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps. The goal is to find a mix of strategies you can use in everyday life, not to stick rigidly to a single method.
Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work useful for fitting therapy around work, commute, or family commitments. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and practice skills in the settings where difficulties occur. A therapist and client will agree on the best rhythm and format for their work together.
