About Curtrice
Curtrice Scott is a licensed counselor with more than 14 years in the mental health field. She holds LPC, MD, and LCPC credentials and practices in Maryland. Her work centers on helping people reduce stress and manage anxiety while addressing related concerns like depression and substance use.
Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on straightforward conversation, practical coping strategies, and building skills that can be used between meetings.
Background and approach
She aims to treat everyone with dignity and respect and to create a space where people feel heard. Curtrice draws from cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behavior patterns. She also uses humanistic principles to support personal growth and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences influence current feelings.
Treatment plans are adapted to each person rather than following a fixed script. She has experience working with people affected by trauma, neglect, and physical abuse, and has supported those managing grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and career stress. Her background includes work with individuals who were formerly incarcerated.
Curtrice encourages small, steady steps toward change. She focuses on clear goals and practical tools so progress can be measured. People who want a compassionate but goal-directed approach often find her way of working useful.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Curtrice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-world change. Cognitive-behavioral approaches help people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Humanistic methods emphasize personal strengths and goals, supporting self-worth and motivation. Psychodynamic ideas look at how past experiences shape current patterns and emotional reactions, which can help make sense of repeated difficulties.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and comfort. Expect adjustments over time as progress is monitored and priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls let people have fuller conversations when face-to-face interaction matters. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between longer sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help make ongoing care easier to sustain alongside work, school, or family commitments.
