About Porshure
Porshure Richardson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee. She uses a warm, straightforward style to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also supports clients who are coping with grief, trauma, bipolar concerns, and ADHD.
She aims to make the first steps toward change feel doable. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical next steps rather than long explanations. She encourages people to name what matters to them and to try small, achievable changes between meetings.
Background and approach
Her approach centers on listening without judgment. That lets clients speak honestly about guilt, shame, isolation, or feelings of emptiness. Many people also bring workplace strain, relationship breakups, or end-of-life caregiving concerns, and she helps them sort priorities and options.
Porshure uses techniques from Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's pace. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy helps keep sessions focused on practical steps and short-term progress.
With two decades of experience in social work, she draws on practical skills and steady support. Her style is coaching-oriented when people want motivation and skills work. She works in English and sees clients through several online formats to fit different schedules.
Practical approaches for online support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist gives space for people to talk through what matters most and reflects back what she hears to help clarify priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions influence feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and ADHD-related challenges where changing routines and thinking patterns can reduce distress.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and clear goals. It helps people identify strengths and quick actions they can try between sessions to build momentum.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted as progress and priorities change.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging gives flexible ways to connect. Video works well for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text allow brief updates, quick check-ins, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
