About Necole
Necole Richardson is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) and a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Tennessee. She has seven years of experience helping people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and anger.
She focuses on practical, down-to-earth work. She helps people name what’s happening, learn simple skills to respond differently, and try things between sessions. Conversations cover self-esteem, relationships, grief, intimacy questions, and coping with life changes.
Her approach draws on therapies that emphasize action and choice as well as understanding. Sessions can include acceptance and commitment strategies, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered conversations that let the client lead what matters most. Dialectical behavior ideas and existential thinking are also part of the options she uses.
Necole often addresses problems that build up over time, like resentment, communication breakdowns, codependency, and caregiver stress. She also works with people facing attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, body-image struggles, and issues tied to alternative sex culture and kink.
Practical coping for day-to-day life is part of the work. That can mean learning breathing and grounding skills, spotting thought patterns that escalate anger or anxiety, and practicing new ways to speak up at work or home. She asks clients to try small, specific experiments between sessions.
People interested in scheduling begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and setting a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anger, avoidance, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-world experiments to reduce reactivity and worry. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for tolerating distress, regulating strong emotions, and improving communication.Finding the right approach is something she does together with each client. She reviews needs, goals, and preferences and suggests which methods to try first. Clients are invited to give feedback and adjust the plan as they learn what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when that helps, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help people keep consistent appointments and apply new skills in their everyday routines.
