About Michael

Michael Curry is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with ten years of experience. He helps people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, depression, addictions, grief, parenting strain, and coping with life changes including coping with natural or human-caused disaster. He offers a calm, practical approach for people wanting clearer next steps and steadier daily routines.

He centers sessions on the person's needs and goals. Conversations focus on concrete skills like managing strong feelings, improving communication, and building better sleep and daily habits. He also brings spiritual perspectives when clients request that as part of their care.

Michael uses a mix of methods aimed at what works in the moment. That can include client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques for thinking and behavior change, mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity, and relationship work informed by the Gottman Method. He explains options and helps people choose what fits their situation.

His background includes work in mental health rehabilitation centers and a mental health hospital, plus counseling within a church. That variety has given experience with a wide range of mental health needs and cultural settings. The military and time spent abroad have also shaped his outlook.

Sessions are presented as steps in a shared journey focused on hope, recovery, and practical resilience. Michael aims to help people build skills they can use outside the session and to move toward the everyday goals they set for themselves.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy means sessions focus on the person first. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people identify their own goals and solutions, which can be useful for stress, self-esteem, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses simple exercises and action steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.

Mindfulness therapy teaches attention skills and ways to step back from strong emotions. It can help with anxiety, grief, and managing cravings or anger.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will explain options, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adapt over time based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays practical and goal oriented.

Confirm current session formats before booking to know what options are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. The focus is on helping clients apply skills between sessions and bringing therapy into everyday life.
