Dr. Jerri Curry, LMFT

Dr. Jerri Curry is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with four decades of clinical experience. She focuses on practical changes people can make in how they think and behave. Her work often centers on stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship concerns, and self-esteem.

Dr. Curry keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. She listens first, then helps people notice thought patterns that get in the way. Sessions are tailored to what a person needs that week, whether that means coping skills, problem solving, or reframing unhelpful thoughts.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a tool for spotting and changing thinking that fuels distress. She also uses ideas from existential therapy to help people consider meaning, choice, and responsibility in their lives. Those approaches are used to address a wide range of concerns, from grief and trauma to workplace stress and identity questions.

Dr. Curry has worked with people managing anger, sleep and eating issues, parenting stress, and caregiver burnout. She also supports those facing midlife changes, career crossroads, or loss related to hospice and end-of-life caregiving. Her background includes long experience helping people cope with panic, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress.

People can expect a collaborative, calm tone in sessions and practical steps they can try between meetings. Dr. Curry emphasizes compassion and empowers clients to make choices that fit their lives. The focus is on small, steady shifts that add up to meaningful change.

How Dr. Curry’s Approaches Work Online

Dr. Curry uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thinking patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, panic, and mood problems. CBT focuses on practical skills and small experiments you can try between sessions to test new ways of thinking and acting. Existential Therapy is also part of her work and invites conversations about meaning, choice, and responsibility when people face life transitions, grief, or questions about purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with each person to choose which ideas and techniques make the most sense for their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made and situations change.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use gestures and facial cues, phone sessions can fit more easily into a busy day or use less bandwidth, and chat or messaging allows for brief check-ins or written reflections. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel while using CBT and existential conversations in ways that fit everyday life.
