About Meredith
Meredith Whitmore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oregon. She focuses on helping people who are managing anxiety, stress, depression, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, grief, and relationship challenges. Her approach aims to be direct, compassionate, and practical so clients can notice small changes that add up.
Meredith draws on three years of counseling experience gained in community health settings. That background means she has worked with a wide range of ages and life situations.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most and to set realistic goals together. Sessions aim to be collaborative and nonjudgmental. Meredith prioritizes building a steady rapport so people feel heard and can try different strategies at their own pace.
She encourages active problem solving and skills practice between meetings. When trauma or abuse is part of the story, Meredith moves carefully and at the client’s speed. She helps people process painful experiences while also teaching tools for managing difficult feelings day to day.
For mood disorders and ADHD she balances support for emotions with practical habits that improve functioning. People working through career strain, parenting stress, chronic illness, or life transitions can expect direct feedback and homework that fits daily routines. Meredith aims to be encouraging without minimizing hard realities.
She frames therapy as a shared effort toward clearer priorities and better coping.
Approaches and Online Sessions That Fit Your Life
Many clients find practical, evidence-based techniques helpful for mood and attention challenges. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. These methods teach clear steps people can practice between sessions to change daily habits and reactions.Behavioral strategies concentrate on routines, activity scheduling, and small habit changes that improve focus and energy. For people managing ADHD or low motivation, this work helps break big tasks into manageable steps and builds consistent routines that support functioning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try a few methods, and adjust based on what feels useful for the client's goals and preferences. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan evolves with their needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. Video is useful for longer conversations and visual cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow brief updates, homework review, or short coaching-style exchanges during the week. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into work, family, and daily life.
