Michael Curry , LPC

Michael Curry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings a decade of clinical experience to work with couples, families, and individuals seeking growth and healing. He emphasizes practical, evidence-informed strategies that help clients move beyond current struggles to discover inner strength and greater well-being. Michael approaches therapy as a collaborative journey - each session represents progress toward improved self-care and resilience, with an aim to build hope, recovery, and long-term coping skills.

In addition to his LPC credential, Michael is a nationally certified counselor and holds certification in anger management. He also offers spiritual-based counseling informed by his background as a minister, integrating clients' faith perspectives when that fits their goals. His professional background includes work in mental health rehabilitation centers, a mental health hospital, and community-based ministry settings, which has given him experience with a wide range of mental health needs.

Michael's varied experience, including time in the military, ministry, and international settings, has shaped his sensitivity to diverse cultural and life circumstances. He focuses on helping clients address issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, trauma, grief, parenting challenges, and major life transitions, and he aims to tailor treatment to each person's strengths and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Michael Curry integrates several practical approaches to meet a variety of needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply and supporting each person to find their own solutions - it is helpful for building self-esteem, navigating life transitions, and strengthening personal insight. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works with patterns of thought and behavior, offering structured tools to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to change unhelpful habits. The Gottman Method is a research-informed approach for couples that emphasizes communication skills, conflict management, and rebuilding trust, making it well suited for relationship and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of therapy. Michael works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and strengths, and he adapts methods over time so treatment fits the person and the situation. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to try and how to measure progress.

Online sessions allow the same therapeutic methods to be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, accessibility for those with mobility or geographic constraints, and ongoing support between appointments when needed, helping people maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into busy lives.
