About Meredith
Meredith Whitmore is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Oregon with three years of counseling experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, confidence, communication problems, relationship concerns, and bipolar disorder. She also lists a range of other focuses including grief, self-esteem, ADHD, parenting, and guilt and shame.
Meredith draws on her background in community health. That work exposed her to people across the lifespan, from age 5 to 95, and shaped how she supports everyday concerns. In sessions she listens for what matters most and helps people name small, practical steps they can try between meetings.
She aims to build a professional, non-judgmental rapport. Conversations are direct but calm, and she encourages honest discussion of difficult feelings. Meredith says therapy often has ups and downs and frames progress as something worked on together rather than handed down.
Her approach emphasizes clear communication and gradual skill building. She helps people talk through painful memories, manage mood shifts, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others. When guilt or shame is present, she pays attention to how those feelings show up in thoughts and behavior.
Meredith uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and focuses on practical coping strategies. She asks clients to try small experiments between appointments to test what works. People who prefer straightforward, action-focused conversations may find this style a good fit.
How Meredith uses evidence-based methods in online sessions
Meredith works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing thoughts and behaviors and on processing difficult experiences. Cognitive approaches involve noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new, balanced thoughts to reduce distress. This can help with anxiety, guilt, and low mood.Exposure and processing methods help people face painful memories or avoided situations a step at a time. Those techniques are commonly used for trauma and anxiety and aim to reduce the power of upsetting memories through careful, repeated practice in session and between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Meredith will discuss different techniques, assess what fits a person's current needs and goals, and adjust methods as progress is tracked. The process is collaborative and aimed at finding practical steps that feel doable.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or remove the need to travel.
