Porter Mckee, LCSW

Psychotherapist
MS
Hi there, I'm Porter! My name is Porter Mckee. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Jackson State University and have Clinical Social Work Licenses in Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. I have over 25 years of experience working directly with mental health, dual diagnosis, and chemically dependent patients. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My approach I start out by building rapport with the client. I get to know the client using a biopsychosocial perspective. We identify presenting problems and current stresses. I work with clients from a strength perspective, helping them identify positive attributes within themselves that may have been buried because of adversities. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Using CBT, I help clients explore the relationship between their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. I try to help them identify negative thoughts and replace them with healthier ones. We explore their past to understand how their experiences have shaped their belief system. We look at their family system and their experiences during their formative years as a child. We also explore any trauma or abuse history. My focus I have experience helping clients with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, abuse, and anger management. I also work with PTSD, depression, and relationship issues. My communication style I try to be very attentive to the client. I give them time to talk and really listen to what they say. I keep a calm demeanor. My clients tell me that I make them feel comfortable. I enjoy working with clients, and I feel that they know this is true. My goals for you I help clients identify issues to work on. I assist them in setting reasonable goals and a timeline. We work at the client’s own pace.
