About Meredith

Meredith Fiedler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of clinical therapy experience and a long history in the mental health and substance use fields.

Background and approach

She centers her work on cognitive behavioral therapy as well as client-centered and mindfulness-informed techniques, tailoring interventions to each person’s priorities and strengths. Meredith addresses a wide spectrum of concerns including mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, stress, and self-esteem challenges.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies, combining solution-focused and motivational interviewing methods when helpful to support change and recovery. Meredith also works with issues that commonly co-occur like codependency, impulsivity, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and grief, and she offers support for complex situations such as domestic violence, compassion fatigue, and coping after disasters.

Based in Florida, she brings an approach that begins with the client’s goals and builds a plan using evidence-informed tools to help people manage symptoms and move toward meaningful life changes.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Meredith commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered therapy, and mindfulness techniques in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or obsessive patterns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and building on the client’s strengths so goals emerge from what matters most to the individual. Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and acceptance practices to help people manage stress, reactivity, and persistent worries.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process: Meredith works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as therapy progresses. That collaborative stance helps ensure the strategies chosen feel relevant and sustainable for each person.

Online therapy with Meredith uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexible access to care. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and practice skills between meetings using the communication style that works best for the client.
