Porshure Richardson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee who centers her work on practical, people-focused therapy. She offers a calm presence and a straightforward approach to help with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and managing life changes. Porshure also brings long experience supporting people facing grief, trauma, bipolar concerns, and workplace issues.

Her sessions emphasize listening first. She creates space for honest talk and helps clients name what matters to them. Conversations move at the client’s pace and focus on realistic steps that can be tried between meetings.

Porshure blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies. That means she pays attention to your priorities while helping you spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set specific goals and track progress in short, practical ways.

People often come for help with family problems, divorce or separation, guilt and shame, isolation, or struggles around self-love. She is also available to support those dealing with hospice and end-of-life concerns and with ADHD-related challenges, using clear, goal-oriented methods.

Porshure values collaboration and gradual change. She encourages small experiments outside of sessions to build confidence and reduce overwhelm. Her style aims to be direct, compassionate, and useful for people looking for steady, practical support.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. In online sessions she uses this approach to learn what matters most to you and to shape conversations around your priorities and pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include short exercises and homework that can be reviewed together on video or discussed over phone or messaging.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on concrete goals and small steps that move you forward. This approach works well online because progress can be tracked between sessions using notes, messages, or brief check-ins.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will help you decide which methods fit your needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as you go. That collaboration helps keep therapy practical and relevant.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and practicing skills together. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer audio only. Live chat or messaging can be a good fit for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when you need a shorter touchpoint during the week. These formats give flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on real, achievable change.
