About Porsha
Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with six years of experience. Porsha Coates works with stress, anxiety, parenting and family concerns, ADHD, self-esteem, and coaching for young adults and veterans. She uses client-centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, and narrative approaches to help people change patterns that cause distress.
Porsha focuses on practical skills. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Sessions include problem-solving, emotion regulation techniques, and mindfulness practices. She also uses narrative work to reframe difficult experiences and hypnotherapy when appropriate.
Her background includes 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. The degree and military experience inform how she understands work, leadership, and life transitions.
Porsha draws on six years of clinical practice and her experience as a retired Senior Non-Commissioned Officer in the United States Air Force. That background shapes her awareness of veteran and armed forces issues and the stressors tied to high-pressure roles.
In sessions she aims to be collaborative and straightforward. She helps people identify patterns in thinking and communication and then practices concrete skills to change them. Parents and adults who want clearer communication, steadier moods, or support with ADHD-related challenges often seek her approach.

How her approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the client. It centers the conversation on personal goals and practical next steps to improve daily functioning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches people to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety or mood symptoms. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and ADHD-related planning. Mindfulness Therapy builds simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit the presenting problem, goals, and personal preference. That choice can change over time as needs evolve and new strategies are tried.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue care during life transitions or while balancing work and family demands. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and narrative techniques to remote sessions to keep the work practical and focused.
