About Porshure
She draws on client-centered therapy to follow each person's lead and focus on what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. Solution-focused methods help set clear, practical goals and track progress in short steps.
Richardson brings over two decades of combined professional experience to her work and uses that background to guide practical decisions in sessions. She helps people navigating grief, trauma, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and the emotional strain of life changes. Divorce and separation are listed among her focus areas for people facing those transitions.
Sessions aim to build skills for managing guilt, shame, loneliness, and workplace strain while also supporting self-love and women’s issues. She also provides guidance around hospice and end-of-life counseling when those concerns arise. The overall focus is on small, achievable changes rather than quick fixes.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. Richardson uses a subscription model for sessions, which may be canceled at any time.

How these approaches shape online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the client's priorities and creating a listening space where concerns are named and explored. It helps when someone needs support to sort feelings and decide what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It is practical and helps with anxiety, low mood, and patterns that keep people stuck by testing small behavior changes and new thinking habits.
Solution-focused therapy narrows in on goals and simple steps that move someone forward. This approach is useful when a person wants quick, concrete ways to handle divorce and separation, workplace stress, or daily coping tasks.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together they will try strategies, see what helps, and adjust the plan over time.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, shorten routine check-ins, or avoid travel time. It can also allow sessions to happen when someone has limited time between obligations, or prefers not to be on camera for part of a meeting.
