About Porter
Porter Mckee is an LCSW and LICSW with 25 years of experience in clinical practice in Mississippi. He works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. He also addresses related concerns such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, attachment and abandonment issues, and isolation or loneliness.
Porter focuses on clear, practical conversation about what is causing distress and what can help now. Sessions are straightforward and focus on thoughts, feelings, and everyday behaviors that get in the way of functioning. He aims to reduce immediate symptoms while building skills people can use outside of sessions.
In longer-term work he addresses patterns that sustain problems, including control issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and difficulties after divorce or separation. He brings a problem-solving orientation to issues like chronic pain, caregiver stress, and mood disorders. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on progress and client feedback.
Porter has extensive experience with men's issues and with challenges that can appear alongside addictions and trauma histories. He also helps people explore forgiveness and reconcile strained relationships when that is a clear goal. His approach blends practical techniques with steady clinical experience to help people manage symptoms and make changes.
Clients who choose him usually want clear goals and hands-on tools to handle panic, reduce avoidance, and improve daily functioning. He works in English in Mississippi and does not accept international clients.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. One common approach targets patterns of thinking that increase anxiety and avoidance; sessions teach ways to notice those thoughts and test them in everyday situations. Another approach emphasizes skills training such as breath work, grounding, and step-by-step exposure tasks to reduce panic and phobic avoidance; these skills are practiced between sessions to build confidence.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person's goals, preferences, and current difficulties. That collaborative planning adjusts over time as progress and setbacks appear.
Confirm current session formats before booking to know which options are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins on a lunch break, or offering sessions without a camera when that helps someone engage. Licensed professionals who offer online work aim to make therapy practical and usable in day-to-day routines.
