About Curley
Curley centers sessions on what each person brings to the room. He starts by listening to the client’s story and clarifying goals. From there he uses conversational tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts, strengthen relationships, and notice patterns that keep problems stuck. Sessions are focused, down-to-earth, and aimed at real-life change.
His background includes work with stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship and family concerns. He also works with grief, anger, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting strains, career concerns, and self-esteem. Additional focus areas include first responder issues, veteran and armed forces issues, infidelity and jealousy, and multicultural concerns such as prejudice and discrimination.
Curley blends several approaches to match what each person needs. He draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s experience, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift thoughts and behaviors, and emotionally-focused ideas to improve connection and understanding. Motivational interviewing and narrative work are used when helping people make changes or reframe their personal stories.
People who want straightforward conversation, practical steps, and respectful support may find his style helpful when coping with life changes or working through persistent problems.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Curley commonly blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, validating the person’s experience, and helping them notice their own strengths. It’s useful for building trust, clarifying what matters, and guiding personal decisions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. It helps with anxiety, depression, and practical coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Curley collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best. He checks in about goals and adjusts techniques so sessions match changing needs and preferences over time.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time so people can use time for other responsibilities. Licensed professionals can still do focused, structured work over video or phone when those formats are available, and Curley will discuss what will work best for your situation during the first conversations.
