About Necole

Necole Richardson is an LPCC and LCMHC practicing in Tennessee with seven years of experience. She works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, anger, and related life changes.

She focuses on improving communication, addressing shame and isolation, and helping people manage workplace stress. Necole also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and caregiver strain. Her practice includes attention to attachment, abandonment, body image, and alternative sexual cultures including BDSM and kink.

Neco­le describes her style as collaborative and client-centered. Sessions are practical and goal-focused. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and existential approaches to help people notice patterns and try new responses.

She often guides clients through skills for handling strong feelings, rebuilding connection after conflict, and making decisions during major life changes. EMDR is listed among her clinical approaches and may be part of work on trauma when appropriate.

Necole pays attention to how identity and culture shape emotional responses. She helps clients sort through shame, set boundaries, and practice clearer communication. People meet actionable steps they can use between sessions to reduce reactivity and increase calm.

Her practice is oriented toward adults in Tennessee who want practical ways to manage anger, improve relationships, and cope with stressors.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, anger tied to avoidance, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing different responses. It can be useful when anger is linked to recurring thought patterns or workplace stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication during conflict.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with the client to test methods and see what fits their goals, preferences, and the problems at hand. That can mean mixing CBT skills with DBT exercises or using ACT language to clarify values and goals.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt tools and worksheets for screen-based meetings so clients can practice skills between sessions and track progress over time.
