About Necole

Necole Richardson is a licensed mental health clinician who uses evidence-based therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and related challenges.

Background and approach

With seven years of clinical experience and credentials as an LPCC and LCMHC, she draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to support clients in building practical skills and emotional resilience. Her practice emphasizes a collaborative and culturally responsive stance that validates each person’s background and lived experience.

Necole guides clients through issues including depression, addiction, grief, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, and difficulties with self-esteem and anger, helping them clarify values, improve communication, and pursue meaningful change. Necole works with adults in Tennessee and focuses on creating an affirming environment where exploration and growth are encouraged.

She integrates client-centered listening with structured therapeutic techniques to address problems like chronic stress, relationship struggles, and coping with life transitions, offering a blend of support that is tailored to each client’s goals.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes helping clients identify personal values and take committed action toward them while developing greater psychological flexibility; it is often used for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building, which can be helpful for depression, anxiety, and coping with mood symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) blends acceptance and change strategies and teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for those struggling with intense emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is handled collaboratively. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and past experiences to determine which methods to emphasize and will adjust the plan as needs evolve so clients feel involved in shaping their care.

Online sessions offer flexible access to therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care across everyday commitments. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver skills training, talk therapy, and structured interventions in ways that meet different logistical and communication preferences.
