About Necole
Necole Richardson is a licensed professional clinical counselor, LPCC, and a licensed clinical mental health counselor, LCMHC, practicing in Tennessee with seven years of experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and a range of relationship and family concerns. Necole also works with those facing grief, addiction, ADHD, and changes such as separation or divorce.
Her work combines clear, practical methods with a focus on what people are living through now. Sessions often address communication problems, boundaries, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image concerns, and challenges tied to attachment and abandonment.
Nicole uses a mix of approaches aimed at changing patterns that cause distress. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-driven action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and shift thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are part of her toolbox for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
She also brings client-centered and existential ideas into sessions, encouraging honest reflection about meaning and choices. Practical skills, role-played conversations, and short homework tasks are commonly used to build new habits between meetings. Necole pays attention to cultural identity and relationship contexts when planning work with each person.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and testing small changes that can reduce symptoms. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify what fits best, combining methods when helpful and adjusting based on goals and progress. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy home schedule, shorten travel time, or allow a quick check-in during a break. Some approaches lend themselves to short skills practice, written exercises, or in-session role play that transfer well to remote meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt homework and skills between sessions so work continues in everyday life.
