About Porter
Porter Mckee is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, trauma, anger, and depression. He aims to make the first step toward change feel less overwhelming and more manageable.
He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through difficult feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon. Porter listens for patterns that keep problems cycling and works with clients to try different ways of responding.
Background and approach
Over his career he has supported people facing post-traumatic stress, panic attacks, and mood disorders. He also helps those coping with abandonment, attachment wounds, guilt, shame, and the fallout from separation or divorce. His experience includes supporting people managing chronic illness, caregiver strain, and issues around control and impulsivity.
Porter uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs. He encourages small experiments between meetings to test new coping skills. Progress is tracked through simple, concrete goals and regular check-ins.
He offers sessions from Mississippi and works in English. The focus is practical change: reducing angry outbursts, lowering anxiety, improving coping with cravings, and easing the weight of trauma and depression. Porter aims to help people move toward a steadier, more manageable life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Porter commonly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and building new coping habits. One approach helps people notice and shift patterns of thought that fuel anxiety and anger, teaching practical strategies to respond differently when stress rises. Another approach emphasizes gradual exposure to difficult memories or triggers, paired with skills to manage strong emotions, which can help reduce the intensity of panic and post-traumatic stress reactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide on techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other and work through emotional material in real time. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter updates, brief skill practice, or ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related schedules while staying focused on real-world change.
