About Meredith
Meredith Fiedler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who uses a client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and addictive behaviors.

With 13 years as a therapist and more than two decades in mental health and substance use fields, she brings steady experience to common struggles.
Background and approach
She works with adults who are dealing with depression, bipolar mood shifts, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, and setbacks at work or in relationships. Phobias are one of the specific concerns she notes in her practice. Sessions focus on building skills that make daily life more manageable.
Meredith uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and mindfulness to teach grounding and breathing strategies. She also uses solution-focused ideas and motivational interviewing to set realistic steps toward change. Her style is straightforward and nonjudgmental.
She helps people identify strengths, try small experiments, and track progress. Therapy is paced to the person's goals and comfort level. Meredith practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English.
She blends practical strategies with a supportive stance to help people handle life transitions, cope after trauma, reduce anxiety, and address substance use concerns. To get started, a short intake and scheduling step is used so sessions can begin when timing works for the person.
Using practical approaches in online therapy
The practice blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address immediate problems and daily habits. Client-centered work means the session follows the person's priorities and builds on their strengths. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.Mindfulness Therapy is also used to help people notice physical sensations and calm their nervous system. Short grounding exercises and breath techniques are taught and practiced during sessions, which can be helpful for anxiety, trauma reactions, and managing urges related to addiction.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick approaches that fit their goals and comfort level, and adjusts strategies as progress is seen. This helps make sessions feel relevant and useful from the start.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines. Video sessions let people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, between-session support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options let people fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while working with licensed professionals.
