About Necole

Necole Richardson is a licensed therapist who offers practical, down-to-earth support for people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. She uses straightforward conversation and evidence-informed techniques to help clients make changes that matter. Necole aims to create a calm space where people can name their struggles and take small steps forward.

With seven years of clinical experience, Necole focuses on boosting self-esteem, improving communication, and reducing shame and isolation. She also helps people cope with workplace stress, grief, addiction concerns, and the emotional fallout of major life changes. Financial and money-related worries are among the concerns she addresses within this broader work.

Necole blends several practical therapeutic approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. She listens for what matters most, then offers tools and exercises to try between sessions. Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit each person’s goals.

People can expect care that recognizes identity and personal context. Necole pays attention to attachment patterns, relationship struggles, body image and intimacy-related issues, and the stresses of caregiving or chronic health problems. She also works with issues like ADHD, codependency, and anger in ways that focus on day-to-day coping.

Her practice is based in Tennessee and conducted in English. Necole holds the LPCC credential and the LCMHC credential and draws on approaches such as ACT, CBT, DBT, client-centered work, and existential ideas when appropriate.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small actions that line up with those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants practical steps to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience and uses active listening and empathy to help people feel heard and make their own choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Necole collaborates with each person to test approaches and adapt techniques based on goals, needs, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to use and how to adjust them as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life, which can make consistent work possible. Online work can reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins that fit a lunch break or evening routine.
