Michael Curry, LPC

Michael Curry helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy struggles, depression, addictions, and a wide range of life challenges. He works with issues such as self-esteem, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, career transitions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Michael practices in Louisiana and brings ten years of counseling experience to his work.

He uses straightforward, talk-based sessions where the person is heard first. Michael centers sessions on what the client needs and then draws from practical methods to make changes. He often blends client-centered listening with structured tools from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness techniques.

Michael also uses approaches that focus on meaning and values, and he uses relationship-focused methods for couples who want to improve connection. He aims to help people build everyday skills for coping, decision making, and communicating more clearly with others.

His background includes time in the military, work in mental health settings, and ministry involvement. Those experiences shaped his awareness of cultural and life-stage differences and how they show up in stress and relationships.

In sessions Michael tends to move at a steady, practical pace. He supports people in setting small goals and tracking progress. The focus is on usable tools and clearer choices rather than long lectures or vague plans.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy means conversations focus on the person first. The therapist listens closely, reflects what he hears, and helps clients name what matters. This approach is useful when someone needs space to sort feelings or make a plan.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses clear tools to change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. It is practical for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and coping skills for daily stressors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress, anger, and emotional ups and downs.

Choosing an approach is a team process. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit the person's goals, values, and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs shift, and sessions are adjusted to match progress.

For online work, confirm the session formats available before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, save travel time, and allow more frequent quick check-ins when useful. It can also support steady work on CBT exercises and mindfulness practices between meetings.
