About Necole
Necole Richardson is a licensed counselor who focuses on practical, person-centered therapy. She holds LPCC and LCMHC credentials and works with people in Tennessee who are coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and depression. Her sessions aim to make therapy feel straightforward and useful.
She helps people name what feels hard, build everyday skills, and try small changes that add up. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
How Necole works
Necole draws on several evidence-based methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Those approaches are mixed to fit a person’s goals, whether that is managing strong emotions, reducing avoidance, or improving communication. She often supports those facing relationship strain, grief, intimacy concerns, ADHD-related struggles, and caregiver stress.
She also addresses concerns connected to attachment, codependency, body image, and chronic illness in a direct, practical way. With seven years of professional experience, Necole emphasizes clear steps and real-world practice. She encourages small experiments between sessions and helps people track what works.
Her style is warm, attentive, and focused on helping people move forward. Therapy sessions are offered in English and organized to match each person’s needs and schedule. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling, then continues with goal-focused work tailored to everyday life.

Online support options
Online approaches that focus on action and connection
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it focuses on identifying values to guide action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience, offering empathic listening and support so goals emerge from the person's priorities.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Necole will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend an approach or mix of approaches. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted as progress is tracked.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or screen time is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, manage energy levels, and choose formats that feel most comfortable while working toward meaningful change.
