About Necole
Necole Richardson is a licensed counselor who uses Existential therapy alongside practical methods to help people navigate hard times. She holds LPCC and LCMHC credentials and works with people in Tennessee. Her style is direct and compassionate, aiming to help clients find meaning while managing daily stresses.
She helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. Sessions often focus on building self-esteem, handling grief, and improving communication. Necole also supports those dealing with relationship strain, intimacy-related issues, and life transitions.
Background and approach
Her approach blends evidence-based tools with a person-focused outlook. That means she might use cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, or client-centered listening to reflect what matters to the client. The room stays collaborative and practical.
Necole has about seven years of clinical experience. She pays attention to how identity, shame, and isolation affect day-to-day functioning. In practice she works with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood issues, compassion fatigue, and caregiver stress.
She also addresses more specific areas like attachment and abandonment wounds, body image and kink-affirming topics such as BDSM and alternative sex culture. People receive straightforward tools for coping with chronic pain, codependency, control issues, and the fallout from divorce or separation. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through several formats.
New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

Online support
How Existential and Action-Focused Methods Work Online
Existential therapy looks at big questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility in everyday life. Online sessions use conversation to help people clarify values, face difficult emotions, and decide what matters next. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients notice painful thoughts while committing to steps that reflect their values; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.These approaches are used together with client-centered listening to keep sessions grounded. The therapist and client work together to choose which methods fit best based on goals, comfort, and personal style. This is a collaborative process where adjustments happen over time to match what’s helping most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging can be helpful for brief check-ins, coping tools between sessions, or when a shorter, written exchange fits a busy day.
These options give flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or medical concerns. The therapist will discuss which format best supports the client’s goals and daily schedule.
