About Michael
Michael Curry is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of clinical experience based in Louisiana. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem and depression, as well as addictions, trauma and abuse. His listed areas also include parenting, grief, sleeping and eating concerns, ADHD, and a wide range of family-related struggles.
He uses approaches drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, existential ideas, the Gottman method, and mindfulness. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer communication. He also offers support around fatherhood issues, adoption and foster care matters, blended family concerns, and codependency.
Michael describes a background that includes time in military service and ministry. He has worked in mental health rehabilitation centers and a mental health hospital, and has provided counseling within a church setting. That mix of experience informs how he responds to different cultural and life contexts.
In sessions he aims to help people develop skills for managing anger, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. He mentions anger management certification and provides spiritual-based counseling as part of his practice when clients want that perspective. Expect a focus on steps you can use between meetings.
He lists work with issues like abandonment, divorce and separation, communication problems, substance use concerns, and coping with life changes including illness or disaster. Conversations tend to center on clear goals, coping strategies, and building resilience for everyday life.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. In plain terms this means conversations that prioritize the client’s concerns and personal goals, which can help when sorting out family or relationship stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online work with CBT often includes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, or compulsive behaviors.
The Gottman method provides practical tools for improving communication and resolving conflict in partner relationships. When applied online it can include focused sessions on communication skills, managing conflicts, and strengthening connection around everyday issues.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals and try methods that fit their situation. Adjustments are made as needed so the work stays useful and grounded in what the client wants to address.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific delivery options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around parenting, work, or caregiving responsibilities.
