About Porshure

Porshure Richardson uses a client-focused approach to help people find clearer footing during hard times. She is a licensed clinical social worker with 21 years of experience and practices in Tennessee. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can say what’s on their mind and make practical plans for change.

In sessions she listens closely and helps people name what matters most to them. She commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges to self-esteem.

Background and approach

She also addresses concerns like bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and adjustment after separation or major life change. Porshure blends client-centered work with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy. That mix lets conversations stay personal while also producing clear steps to try between meetings.

She often focuses on coping skills, shifting unhelpful thinking, and setting small goals that build momentum. Her experience includes helping people navigate family problems, feelings of emptiness or isolation, workplace stress, guilt and shame, and end-of-life issues for loved ones. She also offers coaching-style support for motivation and confidence when goals feel out of reach.

Sessions are approachable and practical. She meets people where they are and works collaboratively to set goals and track progress. The aim is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

Online support

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building a trusting relationship. Online sessions let the therapist listen closely and follow a person’s lead while encouraging honest conversation and practical reflection.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors. In remote sessions this often means talking through specific situations, practicing new responses, and assigning short exercises to do between meetings to test what works.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and what is already working. That approach is easy to use online because it focuses on concrete goals and short-term progress that can be tracked from session to session.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before, then recommend a mix of methods to try. Sessions can shift as needs change so the plan stays useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is good when visual cues and a more traditional session feel matter. Phone calls can fit during a commute or a busy day. Live chat and texting are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a hectic life and keep progress moving forward.
