About Porter

Porter Mckee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 25 years of practice. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. Porter also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, men's issues, mood disorders, narcissism, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress.

Porter aims to create an open setting where people can talk about hard feelings without judgment. He focuses on clear, practical conversation and steady guidance rather than jargon. Sessions emphasize honest talk about what happened and how it shows up now.

Over his career he has helped people sort through reactions to trauma, relapse, and ongoing worry. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and patterns that keep people stuck. The work often includes learning new ways to handle urges, manage strong emotions, and reduce intense guilt or shame.

Porter frames therapy as cooperative problem-solving. He listens for what matters most to each person and then offers straightforward steps to try between sessions. Those steps can be simple behavior changes, coping skills, or ways to repair strained relationships when possible.

People seeking help for heavy guilt or shame will find a therapist who will hear the specifics and help identify what to do next. He combines long experience with a practical focus on the present and on manageable change.

Evidence-based approaches and how they work online

Porter uses well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common problems such as trauma reactions, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. One approach focuses on practical skills for managing intense emotions and urges - this involves learning specific coping strategies to use when distress rises and practicing them between sessions. Another approach looks at past events and their impact on present relationships and beliefs, helping people notice patterns that fuel guilt or shame and try new behaviors in daily life.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Porter will discuss options, listen to your goals, and suggest techniques that fit your situation. He adjusts plans based on what helps and what feels doable for the person in front of him.
