Necole Richardson, LPCC, LCMHC

Necole Richardson is a licensed counselor who uses practical therapy to help people move past stress, anxiety, addiction, and trauma. She works with adults in Tennessee and draws on several therapy styles to meet each person's needs. Necole has seven years of clinical experience and holds the LPCC and LCMHC credentials. Her sessions focus on real-life skills. She often helps people manage mood changes, cope with grief, and handle relationship or intimacy-related struggles. She also supports people facing burnout, caregiver stress, body image concerns, and challenges tied to chronic illness or disability. Necole blends approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment ideas, and client-centered listening to shape each plan. That means sessions include skill practice, values clarification, and straightforward conversation about what matters most to the client. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when those patterns show up. She also brings experience with more specific concerns such as BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture, codependency, communication problems, and coping after separation or divorce. For people with ADHD, bipolar mood issues, or disruptive mood challenges, she aims to build tools that fit daily life. Getting started is simple: someone picks a session format that works for them - video, phone, chat, or text - and schedules an appointment. Necole emphasizes collaboration so people leave sessions with clear next steps and practical strategies they can use between meetings.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change behaviors that cause problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines mindfulness and values work to help people accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that matter to them. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so clients feel heard and can explore goals at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Necole collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, values, and daily reality. She may blend techniques so sessions stay focused on what helps most in everyday life.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share updates, ask quick questions, or continue skill practice between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
