Meredith Fiedler, LCSW

Meredith Fiedler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider practicing in Florida, bringing 13 years of experience as a therapist and more than 20 years working in the mental health and substance abuse fields. She works with adults age 18 and over and maintains a trauma-informed focus, addressing a wide range of concerns including mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, stress management, self-esteem challenges, relationship and family issues, grief, and more.

Her practice emphasizes a holistic, collaborative, client-centered approach that begins with the individual and their priorities. Meredith uses a blend of evidence-based methods tailored to each person - including cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused strategies, mindfulness practices, and motivational enhancement - to help clients identify strengths, develop coping skills, and work toward meaningful goals. LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a credential that reflects advanced training in clinical social work and mental health care.

Meredith seeks to create a nonjudgmental environment where adults can explore thoughts, emotions, and life changes while building practical skills for daily living. She believes finding the right therapeutic fit is essential and partners with clients to determine the best path forward. Seeking support is an important first step, and Meredith looks forward to working with individuals who are ready to make change.

Collaborative therapeutic approaches for online care

Meredith draws from client-centered therapy, which focuses on understanding each person from their perspective and building a treatment plan around their values and goals. This approach helps adults feel heard and supported while they explore changes and decisions that matter to them.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new skills for managing anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. CBT is often used to set concrete goals and track progress over time.

Mindfulness therapy is another tool Meredith brings into online sessions, offering simple techniques to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to stress. These practices can support regulation of emotions and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Meredith collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses. Licensed professionals and therapists work together with clients to find the most effective path.

Online therapy with Meredith can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for changing schedules and varying comfort levels. These options make it easier for adults to access consistent care and integrate therapeutic work into busy lives.
