About Meredith
Meredith Whitmore is an Oregon Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and a range of mood-related concerns including bipolar disorder and depression. Her work also addresses relationship and communication problems, self-esteem, parenting strains, and challenges tied to life transitions and career stress.
She draws on experience from community health settings and has worked with people across many life stages, from early childhood support roles through older adulthood. Sessions are direct and practical, with attention to what is causing distress now and what small steps could reduce it. Meredith uses plain language and straightforward goals rather than technical labels.
In sessions she emphasizes building an open professional rapport without judgment. Conversations focus on real-world coping strategies, emotion regulation, and improving communication habits. She encourages clients to notice progress in small, observable ways and to try techniques between sessions.
Her approach includes addressing practical issues like parenting, workplace stress, and managing mood swings. She also supports people dealing with grief, chronic illness, isolation, and the effects of trauma. For those with attention concerns or ADHD, she works on organizational strategies and planning that fit daily life.
Meredith works in Oregon and conducts therapy in English. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and session fees vary with location.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used in straightforward ways. Cognitive methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which can help with social anxiety, worry, and low mood. Behavioral strategies encourage small, manageable steps such as brief exposure tasks or activity planning to reduce avoidance and increase positive activities.Mindfulness and emotion regulation skills are also used to help people notice feelings without being overwhelmed. These skills support coping with stress, mood swings, and grief by teaching short practices that can be used during the day. The therapist will explain each technique and work with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals and daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review what helps and adjust methods over time based on progress and preferences. Practical considerations like session length, homework exercises, and how skills are practiced between meetings are discussed together.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules require them. Therapists can also adapt exercises for audio or video conversations and suggest ways to practice skills in everyday settings.
