Integrating CBT and Existential Therapy in Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical approach that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and develop new thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for stress, anxiety, mood difficulties, panic, and coping with life changes by teaching concrete skills to manage symptoms and reactions.

Existential Therapy invites exploration of meaning, values, and personal responsibility. It supports clients facing life transitions, grief, questions about purpose, isolation, or midlife concerns by encouraging honest reflection about choices and what matters most.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Dr. Jerri Curry collaborates with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts methods as therapy progresses to arrive at the best fit for the individual or family. That collaborative process helps tailor interventions and pacing.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of location within the state.
