About Porter

Porter Mckee is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, panic, and the fallout from trauma. He brings 25 years of experience to sessions and aims to create a calm space where someone can say what they are feeling without judgment.

He speaks plainly and works collaboratively. Porter helps people identify patterns that feed panic or anxiety and practices ways to interrupt those patterns in day-to-day life. He also helps clients who are coping with addiction, mood changes, anger, and symptoms of post-traumatic stress.

Sessions include time to talk through what feels most urgent, and time to build practical coping steps for home, work, and relationships. Porter pays attention to how attachment, abandonment, guilt, and shame show up for a person and offers straightforward strategies to address them. He also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness, or the stress of caregiving.

Porter uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on skills that people can apply between sessions. He encourages small, achievable changes rather than big overnight fixes. His aim is to help people move toward a life that feels more peaceful, connected, and manageable.

Based in Mississippi, Porter works in English and brings a patient, steady approach to therapy. He invites prospective clients to take the first step and explore what kinds of changes might be possible for them.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Porter uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building and symptom reduction. One common approach is skills training that teaches breathing, grounding, and thought-challenging exercises to reduce panic and anxiety; these are taught step by step and practiced between sessions. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed strategies that help people process frightening memories and learn pacing and regulation techniques to reduce reactivity.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will ask about current goals and what has or hasn't worked before, and will test methods that fit a person's needs and preferences. Together they can adjust pace and focus as progress is made or priorities change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice new skills in the settings where they live and work, which can speed learning and make techniques more usable in daily life.
