About Necole

Necole Richardson, LPCC, LCMHC, offers a straightforward, person-focused way to tackle stress, anxiety, depression, and self esteem struggles. She introduces practical tools in calm sessions so people can manage hard days and build clearer priorities.

Her work centers on helping people build self-love and stronger communication. She helps clients face shame and social anxiety, cope with workplace stress, and find direction during life changes. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and make everyday choices feel more manageable.

With seven years of clinical experience, Necole uses a mix of well-known approaches. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy to match methods to the person. This gives room for practical skills and deeper self-reflection where needed.

Necole also addresses challenges such as addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she supports include attachment and abandonment worries, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, communication and commitment issues, and separation or divorce.

People in Tennessee can expect a collaborative tone in sessions. Necole aims to listen without judgment, help clients set realistic goals, and practice skills that fit daily life. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How these approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focuses on actions that reflect their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with depression and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be helpful for intense emotions and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process makes it easier to pick tools that fit the client's daily life and priorities.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, and remove travel time. It can also let people use video or phone options when they prefer less screen time. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT exercises to work over remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings and track progress.
