About Michael
Michael Curry is an LPC who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, and challenges like depression, addictions, and codependency. He names grief, parenting, career strain, and ADHD among the concerns he supports. He also works with people dealing with trauma, sexual identity concerns, and life changes.
He uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods and keeps sessions focused on practical next steps. He aims to help people identify strengths and build coping skills. Sessions are described as collaborative, with the client guiding goals and the therapist offering tools and feedback.
Michael draws on experience from clinical and community settings, including mental health rehabilitation centers and a mental health hospital. His background also includes work in ministry and service in the military, which he says helped him understand cultural and life transitions. He brings that range of experience to conversations about recovery and resilience.
He offers spiritual-based counseling for people who want faith included in their work. He also notes training in anger management and uses techniques to reduce reactivity and improve communication. Expect a mix of talk, reflection, and practical exercises that can be practiced between sessions.
People who choose to work with him can expect a focus on building hope and practical skills. He frames therapy as a journey with small, measurable steps. The aim is clearer thinking, better relationships, and more stable daily routines.
Background and approach build on a decade of practice and a goal of helping clients recover and move forward. Michael emphasizes realistic changes people can use in family life, work, and personal wellbeing.
Approaches for online work and finding the right fit
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are; it helps those who need space to talk and to find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and codependency. Existential Therapy addresses questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility and can help when people face major life transitions or feel stuck.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that match those goals and personal preferences. Together they can adjust the approach if something isn’t working or if priorities change.
Confirm the available session options before booking since specific formats aren’t listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. They can also let the therapist assign short between-session exercises and use screen-shared worksheets to practice skills between meetings.
