About Meredith
Meredith Fiedler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 13 years of experience as a therapist. She focuses on helping adults who are dealing with mood and anxiety concerns, substance use challenges, trauma, and life changes. Her approach centers on the person in front of her and what that person needs right now.
Meredith uses practical, conversational methods. She draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s lead.
Background and approach
She pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are tools she uses to build coping skills and stay focused on goals. Her background includes long-term work in mental health and substance use settings.
That experience informs steady, straightforward care. She helps people untangle issues such as depression, bipolar mood swings, anxiety, addiction, grief, and anger. She also addresses concerns like codependency, control and commitment issues, and isolation or emptiness.
Sessions aim to identify small, doable changes. Meredith often helps clients set short-term goals and track progress between meetings. She emphasizes strengths and practical steps rather than lengthy theory.
Clients can expect a calm, non-judgmental space to talk through tough moments. Meredith practices in Florida and speaks English. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions based on the therapist’s availability.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. In practice this looks like listening first, following what matters to the client, and shaping sessions around their goals. It is helpful for people who want a gentle, collaborative space to figure things out.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. A therapist and client identify unhelpful thoughts, try new ways of responding, and practice small experiments between sessions. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, mood issues, and some compulsive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Meredith will discuss different methods and choose what fits the client’s needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as goals shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be lower-bandwidth and easier during a busy day. Live chat or messaging supports brief check-ins, written reflection, or ongoing coaching-style contact. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping continuity of care.
