Michael Curry, LPC

Michael Curry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, relationship and intimacy struggles, and addiction concerns. He helps people who are dealing with grief, trauma, parenting strain, self-esteem challenges, or major life changes. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to what feels useful right now.

He uses cognitive behavioral ideas alongside client-centered listening to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Mindfulness and existential perspectives are woven in to help clients connect values to action. Michael also draws on relationship tools from the Gottman Method when couples work on improving communication and trust.

Michael describes therapy as a step-by-step journey. He aims to help people build coping skills and clearer routines for sleep, eating, and daily stress. He can also support those facing issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family problems, cancer-related stress, or substance use challenges.

With about ten years of experience, Michael has worked in mental health rehabilitation centers, a mental health hospital, and in church settings. That background informs a practical style that mixes skill teaching with empathic listening. He also offers spiritual-based counseling when that fits a client's values.

Sessions are offered from Louisiana and are conducted in English. Michael works with people on topics including ADHD, bipolar challenges, anger, career transitions, forgiveness, and compassion fatigue. He focuses on helping each person take small, manageable steps toward recovery and resilience.

How Michael’s approaches translate to online therapy

Michael frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which can work well in short online sessions that include homework between meetings.

He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, validation, and supporting a person’s own pace of change. This approach helps clients feel understood and safer to try new strategies during video or phone conversations. Michael draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve sleep and eating routines.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Michael will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, then adapt methods to fit. That way clients can test what helps most and adjust as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let the therapist and client work closely on skills and body language. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a lunch break. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
