About Meredith
Meredith Fiedler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida who uses a client-centered way of working. She focuses on helping adults with mood disorders, anxiety, addiction, trauma, stress, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Meredith draws on practical tools rather than labels to help people move forward.
She brings 13 years of experience as a therapist and many more years in mental health and substance use settings. Meredith starts by listening to what matters most to each person and then matches techniques to those goals.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, with attention to building on strengths. Meredith commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses mindfulness practices to help people manage stress and stay present.
Solution-focused methods help set clear, achievable steps when someone wants concrete progress. Motivational interviewing is used when people are thinking about change but feel stuck. That style helps uncover personal reasons for change and supports taking small, sustainable steps.
Meredith adapts her methods to fit each person rather than applying a single approach to everyone. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including grief, anger, relationship and family challenges, career stress, compulsive behaviors, codependency, and coping after disasters. Meredith aims to offer steady support while helping clients build everyday skills that make life more manageable.
How Meredith’s approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding where a person is coming from. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps clarify goals, and works together to find strategies that fit the client's life. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive, collaborative space to talk through stress and life changes.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple, practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills for anxiety, depression, and mood challenges. Mindfulness therapy teaches short practices to notice the present moment and reduce reactivity to stress, which can be helpful alongside CBT tools.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Meredith will help figure out what methods fit best based on a person's needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress is seen.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options let people connect from home, manage appointments around busy schedules, and continue work between sessions with written check-ins if desired. The format can be matched to the type of work being done and the client's comfort level.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
