About Porshea

Porshea Pendleton, LMFT, is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Oregon with 24 years of professional experience. As an LMFT - a credential that denotes specialized training in working with individuals, couples, and families - she has supported people facing depression, PTSD, anxiety, relationship challenges, and substance use concerns. Her work also addresses stress, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, anger, bipolar disorder, and coaching needs, alongside focused areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, body image, cancer-related adjustment, codependency, communication difficulties, and domestic violence.

Porshea integrates evidence-informed approaches into personalized treatment plans, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors, solution-focused strategies for practical change, and Gestalt techniques to increase awareness and present-moment insight. For couples she incorporates principles from the Gottman Method to strengthen communication and resolve conflict. When clients seek faith-informed care, she offers support from a Christian perspective for those looking to deepen their relationship with God.

Treatment goals and therapeutic direction are tailored to each person or couple, with dialogue and planning shaped by unique needs and preferences. She is not accepting new clients at this time, and she encourages anyone considering therapy to explore options that fit their goals and circumstances.

CBT and Gottman Work through Online Sessions

Porshea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress management, and many day-to-day coping challenges. She also applies the Gottman Method with couples, focusing on practical communication skills, conflict management, and rebuilding trust to improve relationship functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Porshea works collaboratively with each person or couple to explore which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Clients are invited to share their priorities so work proceeds in a way that feels purposeful and mutually agreed upon.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins or ongoing support can be provided through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, support consistent attendance, and maintain momentum between sessions while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to each client.
