Approaches that guide online sessions
Dr. Curry uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. CBT is useful for panic, mood problems, sleep issues, and habits linked to stress.She also draws on Existential Therapy, which helps people reflect on meaning, choice, and responsibility in life. This approach can be helpful when facing grief, major life changes, caregiver strain, or questions about life purpose.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients are invited to voice preferences and concerns as part of that decision.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, and flexible communication during busy days. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
