About Porshure
Porshure Richardson, LCSW, uses a client-centered approach that puts the person's goals and experience first. She focuses on practical steps to reduce stress and anxiety and to build self-esteem. She also supports people facing depression, grief, trauma, and workplace issues. Her tone is straightforward and encouraging.
With 21 years of experience, Richardson draws on several approaches to help people find what works for them. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small, achievable goals so progress is visible and manageable.
She helps people process life changes such as divorce and separation, end-of-life concerns, and transitions at work. She also supports those dealing with emptiness, isolation, guilt and shame, and the challenges of ADHD and bipolar mood concerns. Sessions aim to clarify priorities and to build practical coping tools.
In sessions she creates an open space for honest conversation without judgment. She talks through emotions, everyday stresses, and decision points alongside each person. The work often includes setting short-term goals, trying new coping strategies, and checking what is actually helping.

How her approaches shape online therapy
Porshure uses client-centered work to focus sessions on what matters most to the person. That means the conversation starts with the client's priorities and feelings, and the therapist follows the client's lead to understand concerns and set goals. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. CBT is practical and task-oriented, helping people test new ways of thinking and coping for anxiety, depression, and workplace stress. Solution-Focused Therapy complements these methods by keeping attention on small, achievable steps. This approach helps people build momentum quickly by identifying strengths and next actions rather than dwelling only on problems. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. She will work with the person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. For practical matters, please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into workdays, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is difficult. Different formats can also help when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers audio-only conversations versus video. Ask about available session formats when you schedule.Areas of expertise
