About Necole
Necole Richardson is a licensed counselor who practices in Tennessee. She holds LPCC and LCMHC credentials and brings seven years of experience to her work. She focuses on helping people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and the stresses of everyday life.
Her approach centers on practical tools and steady support. She blends Gottman Method ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered ways of working to meet people where they are.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear steps, skill building, and honest conversation about what’s getting in the way. Narrative and emotion are part of the work, but so are concrete skills. She helps people with communication problems, boundaries, codependency, and intimacy-related concerns.
She also addresses grief, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and the effects of burnout or compassion fatigue. Necole supports people navigating big life changes like divorce, separation, or transitions linked to mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. She also works with issues connected to attachment, abandonment, body image, and alternative sexual cultures including BDSM and kink.
In sessions she aims to make therapy feel straightforward and collaborative. Clients can expect clear goals, practical strategies for coping, and steady attention to values and relationships. The focus stays on what matters to each person and on steps they can use between appointments.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work
Necole uses approaches that fit well with remote sessions. The Gottman Method brings a focus on communication patterns and practical exercises that help people understand and change how they relate. It is useful for improving listening, reducing conflict cycles, and strengthening emotional connection.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and choose actions based on values. That approach is helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions when someone wants concrete steps to move toward what matters. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship so people feel heard and can make choices at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level, and may blend techniques over time to match progress and changes.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face work and interactive exercises, phone sessions can be a simpler check-in with lower bandwidth needs, and messaging formats suit quick updates or shorter, focused conversations. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity when schedules shift.
