About Porshure
Porshure Richardson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and other life challenges.
Background and approach
With 21 years of professional experience in Tennessee, she blends practical tools and empathetic listening to support clients in developing clearer thinking patterns, healthier coping strategies, and goals that feel achievable. Her approach emphasizes creating a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult emotions related to trauma, family problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Richardson also addresses issues such as bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, workplace stress, and end-of-life or hospice related counseling, tailoring sessions to each person’s current needs. She frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on empowerment, growth, and building self-compassion.
Clients can expect a mix of structured skill-building and warm, person-centered support aimed at increasing confidence, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions. Richardson communicates plainly about options and works alongside clients to set realistic steps toward their goals.
Practical therapy approaches for online care
Richardson integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into online work to offer both structured skills and empathic support. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing concrete tools to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, useful for stress, mood concerns, and coping with life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, validation, and building a therapeutic relationship that helps clients explore emotions around grief, family conflict, or feelings of emptiness.Finding the right combination of approaches is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as treatment unfolds so sessions align with what matters most to the client and their current needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging which provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options help clients continue care from home, manage appointments around work or caregiving responsibilities, and access consistent support without travel. Richardson aims to make therapy practical and accessible while tailoring methods to individual goals.
