About Meredith
Meredith Fiedler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 13 years of experience as a therapist. She helps adults who are coping with strong emotions, mood shifts, addiction concerns, and life stressors. Her approach is practical and person-focused, starting with what matters most to each client.
She works with people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and grief. Anger and stress management are part of her practice, along with support for addiction and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Meredith also helps clients who feel isolated, empty, or stuck in patterns like codependency and impulsivity. Her style centers on the person in front of her. She uses client-centered methods to listen first, then brings in tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques are added when they fit the client's goals. Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. Meredith helps clients set realistic goals, try new strategies, and build on existing strengths.
She emphasizes small, manageable steps rather than sweeping promises. Meredith practices in Florida and conducts therapy in English. She draws on years of work in mental health and substance use settings to offer practical coping skills and emotional support.
Her focus is on helping adults find clearer direction and better ways to manage daily challenges.

Approach and online options for practical change
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, asks questions, and helps people identify what they want to change. This approach is useful when someone needs a respectful space to sort out feelings and priorities.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It breaks down problems into small parts and teaches skills to shift unhelpful thinking and habits, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, anger, and mood challenges.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness. These techniques can help with stress, impulsivity, and emotional regulation.
Finding the right mix of methods is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each client about goals and preferences, try techniques together, and adjust the plan as needed. The aim is to find practical strategies that fit the client's life and comfort level.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports short updates or reflections between meetings. These options make it possible to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while using tools that suit each person's needs.
