About Porschia
Porschia Fisher is an Alabama Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and parenting concerns, depression, trauma, grief, anger, and related life changes.
She favors straightforward conversations. Sessions focus on naming what matters, finding patterns that cause distress, and practicing skills that reduce reactivity. Clients can expect clear feedback, practical strategies, and time to process difficult feelings without judgment.
Porschia uses a mix of approaches to fit the moment. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what clients bring, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She also integrates ideas from existential and Jungian perspectives when they help someone make sense of meaning and identity.
Her work often focuses on everyday problems that build into bigger strain - work stress, recurring arguments, parenting pressures, substance use patterns, or long-standing feelings of abandonment and loneliness. She helps people break those cycles and try different ways of responding to triggers.
Sessions are aimed at practical change and clearer thinking. Porschia asks questions, offers skill-based exercises, and checks in about what works between visits. To begin, prospective clients follow the practice's matching steps and schedule an initial session to set goals and plan next steps.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Porschia commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting what a person brings, which helps people feel heard and clarify their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anger and anxiety.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when strong emotions or impulsive reactions are present. DBT offers concrete tools for managing intense feelings, tolerating distress, and improving communication during conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods to try based on the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change as progress is made or different issues arise.
Confirm the current online session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow focusing on skills practice or brief problem-solving during a lunch break or between obligations. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises to work well in remote sessions, and Porschia will discuss what format best suits a client's routine and needs.
