About Porshure

Porshure Richardson, LCSW, draws on a client-centered approach to guide people through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. She emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental environment where clients can express thoughts and feelings and explore motivations, self-esteem, and confidence.

Background and approach

With 21 years of experience and a Tennessee LCSW (TN LCSW 8942), she blends practical strategies with empathetic listening to help clients identify goals and take meaningful steps forward. Her background includes supporting those facing trauma, family difficulties, bipolar issues, and challenges such as workplace stress, loneliness, and relationship endings like divorce and separation.

She also works with concerns related to hospice and end-of-life counseling, women's issues, and self-love. Richardson integrates solution-focused techniques and cognitive behavioral tools when useful, offering a mix of short-term problem solving and deeper client-led exploration.

This combination aims to empower clients to build coping skills, clarify priorities, and pursue a more satisfying day-to-day life.

Therapeutic Approaches and How They Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's own perspective and priorities, creating space for people to explore feelings, values, and goals while the therapist offers empathy and support. This approach is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and processing grief because it centers the client's experience and pace.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a structured method that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It can be effective for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and some aspects of ADHD by teaching practical coping strategies and skills to reshape daily patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative effort. The therapist will work with clients to determine whether client-centered exploration, CBT techniques, solution-focused planning, or a combination fits their goals, needs, and preferences rather than applying one method exclusively.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent care from different locations, support ongoing skill practice between sessions, and accommodate clients who prefer varied ways of communicating.
