About Porsha

Porsha earned a Master of Science in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of Hawaii and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of North Florida. Her military background as a retired Senior Non-Commissioned Officer in the United States Air Force informs her understanding of veteran and armed forces issues and high-stress environments.
In practice she focuses on improving family dynamics, setting clearer boundaries, and addressing multicultural and minority stress concerns. She also supports people coping with blended family issues, impulsivity, mood challenges, and decisions about life purpose.
Clients can expect collaborative sessions that combine talk therapy with skills practice. Porsha aims to help clients notice what keeps them stuck and try different approaches until something fits. She works in English and practices in Florida.
Approaches used online and how they help
Porsha uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize each person's experience and perspective. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people name what matters so they can make clearer choices. It is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and decisions common in early adulthood.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with practical experiments. CBT offers step-by-step techniques for anxiety, mood problems, impulsivity, and managing ADHD-related patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Porsha will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match those needs. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
