About Porcha
Dr. Porcha Porter is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Ohio and Virginia with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, coping with life changes, and LGBT concerns. She uses therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Motivational Interviewing in her practice.
Dr. Porter frames sessions around practical steps people can use. She listens for what’s causing daily strain, then helps name small changes that reduce distress. Sessions mix talk, skills practice, and goal-focused work so people can try new ways of coping between meetings.
Her background includes working across mood disorders, attachment issues, trauma-related problems, and substance use concerns. She also addresses abandonment, communication problems, control issues, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and grief after disasters. This range informs how she prioritizes safety, pacing, and concrete steps in therapy.
Dr. Porter draws on client-centered principles to follow each person’s lead and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps with values-based action, and EMDR is used when processing traumatic memories is appropriate. Motivational Interviewing supports change when substance use or ambivalence is present.

How Dr. Porter uses specific therapies in remote work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where choosing meaningful steps matters.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person’s priorities. Sessions using this approach make room for the client to set goals and pace the work, which can be helpful when processing sensitive material.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Dr. Porter treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and past experiences to choose which methods to try first. Adjustments are made over time based on what the person finds helpful.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific delivery modes. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when those are useful. Licensed professionals can use a mix of talk-based strategies, skills coaching, and structured exercises that translate well to remote sessions.
