About Necole
Necole Richardson is an LPCC and LCMHC practicing in Tennessee with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients.
Her work centers on practical steps clients can try between sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and existential ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, test new responses, and solve real problems. Typical conversations look at patterns in thinking and behavior and then try different, small experiments to change those patterns.
She often addresses issues connected to attachment and abandonment, body image, codependency, communication problems, commitment challenges, and caregiver stress. She also supports people managing chronic pain, long-term illness or disability, and complex co-morbid conditions. Topics such as BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture are included in her scope when clients bring them up.
Necole works with people coping with divorce, separation, disruptive mood dysregulation symptoms, and the long-term effects of trauma. She helps clients facing workplace stress, shame, isolation, or difficulties with intimacy and sexual expression. Her sessions include practical skills for emotion regulation and clearer communication.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online sessions using CBT commonly involve setting concrete goals, tracking patterns between meetings, and practicing short exercises to change reactions to stress or anxiety.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without fighting them and commit to actions that match their values. In teletherapy this can look like values clarification exercises and brief behavioral steps to try during the week.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening stance where the therapist follows the client's lead and reflects their experience. Over video or phone this often means focusing on what matters most to the client and adjusting pace and topics to fit their needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods to try first, based on goals, preferences, and what is working or not working as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people maintain regular appointments and practice skills between sessions.
