About Meredith
Meredith Whitmore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oregon. She focuses on anxiety and stress alongside mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder. Meredith uses a warm, encouraging style that helps people feel heard during hard moments.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She listens first, then works with each person to set small, clear goals. Sessions emphasize developing coping skills for anxiety, managing big emotions, and improving communication with others.
Background and approach
Meredith draws on three years of counseling experience in community health settings. That work exposed her to many life situations and health challenges. She has supported people facing trauma, grief, chronic illness, and career or parenting stress.
In sessions she aims to build a calm, nonjudgmental space. People can expect honest conversation, occasional homework, and specific strategies to try between meetings. She often blends talking and active skill practice so progress feels practical and measurable.
Meredith also helps people with relationship and family concerns by teaching clearer communication and boundary skills. She addresses issues like codependency, loneliness, and midlife transitions. Her style is part coach, part guide, and always collaborative.
Approaches that help with anxiety and mood online
Two common evidence-based approaches she uses are skills-based therapy and trauma-informed care. Skills-based therapy focuses on teaching concrete tools for managing anxiety, regulating emotions, and tackling day-to-day stress. Trauma-informed care centers on safety and pacing so people can process difficult experiences without feeling overwhelmed.She tailors techniques to each person through a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try different methods, and adjust based on what feels helpful. Finding the right approach is a partnership rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and practicing skills together. Phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow for shorter check-ins during a busy day or between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other parts of life while still working toward clear goals.
