About Porshure

Porshure Richardson is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She uses a warm, nonjudgmental approach to make it easier to talk about hard feelings. Seeking help can feel scary, and she aims to make that first step more manageable.

With 21 years of experience, Richardson brings steady support for people facing depression, grief, trauma and the challenges of life transitions. She also helps with self-esteem, motivation, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and workplace strain. Sessions emphasize practical steps and clearer thinking that fit into everyday life.

Her style centers on listening and adapting to each person's needs. Richardson draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's pace and perspective. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete, short-term goals.

People can expect respectful conversation and actionable strategies. Richardson often works on building coping skills, improving self-talk, and planning small changes that add up. She also supports those dealing with family problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, or feelings of emptiness.

Richardson practices in Tennessee and offers care in English. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s goals guide each step. To begin, she asks people to share what matters most so sessions can focus on useful, realistic outcomes.

How these approaches guide online work

Porshure Richardson uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's concerns and priorities, creating space for them to be heard and understood. This approach helps when someone needs a calm place to name feelings and decide what matters most.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify patterns of thinking that increase stress or anxiety and to practice alternative, more helpful responses. CBT is useful for managing worry, mood shifts, and unhelpful habits. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, achievable goals and to notice progress quickly, which can be motivating during times of change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Richardson works with people to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as needs change. This collaborative style helps clients try practical steps and see what works best for them.
