About Meredith
Meredith Whitmore is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Oregon. She brings three years of counseling experience and a straightforward style that many people find easy to follow.

Background and approach
Meredith also supports people dealing with self-esteem, grief, eating concerns, anger, and life changes. She helps clients untangle communication problems and cope with ADHD-related challenges. Sessions tend to be practical and down-to-earth.
Meredith listens first, then helps people spot patterns and try small, manageable changes. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that match each person’s goals and pace. The approach is collaborative - the person in therapy and Meredith set steps together.
Her past work in community health exposed her to many life stages and situations. That background informs how she tailors conversations and tools to everyday life. Meredith aims to be encouraging, direct when needed, and responsive to how each person is doing.
People who choose her often want clear ideas they can use between sessions. Meredith helps with goal setting, coping strategies, and skills for handling stress, relationships, and career pressures. She tries to keep sessions focused and useful.
Therapeutic techniques and online options that fit your life
Meredith uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and pacing. One common approach helps people learn coping and stress-management skills to reduce anxiety and manage mood swings; it teaches straightforward tools to practice between sessions. Another approach centers on processing trauma and difficult experiences at a pace the person can handle, using steps that build safety and emotional tolerance before working through painful material.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Meredith treats approach selection as collaborative - she listens to your goals, tries methods that suit your needs, and adjusts as progress and comfort evolve. The aim is to match techniques to what helps you move toward specific goals, not to follow a preset plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for a full conversation and face-to-face connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
