About Meredith
Meredith Whitmore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, bipolar symptoms, and anger. She also supports those dealing with relationship struggles, parenting strain, grief, ADHD, and life changes. Meredith writes plainly and listens carefully so clients can speak without judgment.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on practical steps to manage strong feelings, improve communication, and build daily routines that reduce overwhelm.
Background and approach
Meredith uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person's situation rather than following one fixed method. Before becoming an LPC she worked in community health. That experience brought regular contact with people across the lifespan and taught her to explain concepts simply.
Meredith pairs that background with three years of counseling practice to guide people through both short-term problems and ongoing concerns. In the room she aims to create a steady, supportive atmosphere. She encourages small, doable changes and checks progress often so adjustments are clear.
People can expect a mix of talking, problem-solving, and skill-building to manage emotions and daily challenges. Meredith offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She communicates in English and practices in Oregon.
To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Meredith uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on managing emotions and building practical skills. One common approach emphasizes learning coping skills for intense feelings - people practice breathing, grounding, and behavior changes to reduce reactivity and regain calm. This helps with anger, anxiety, and mood swings.Another approach centers on improving communication and problem-solving. Sessions break down difficult conversations into clear steps, role-play safer responses, and create plans to handle conflict and boundaries. This method suits relationship strain, parenting challenges, and workplace stress.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Meredith works with each person to understand their goals and preferences, then tries strategies and adjusts them over time. She treats the therapy plan as flexible rather than fixed, checking in regularly to make sure it fits the client’s needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill coaching, or when someone prefers not to use a camera. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to keep therapy consistent over time.
