About Michael
Michael Curry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and addiction. He also supports people working through grief, trauma, parenting strain, career shifts, and life changes. He uses straightforward language and practical steps in sessions.
Michael draws on about 10 years of clinical experience to shape each conversation around a person’s needs. He blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, doable changes that reduce distress and build coping skills. He has worked in mental health rehabilitation centers and a mental health hospital, and he has provided counseling through his church. Those roles exposed him to many types of mental health challenges and to different cultural settings.
Michael has experience that includes time in the military and in ministry, which informs his work with diverse life stories. In session he aims to help people spot unhelpful patterns, test new ways of responding, and strengthen supportive routines. That can include practical strategies for sleep and eating, skills for managing anger, or communication tools for relationship strain.
He may also incorporate spiritual concerns when clients raise them. Michael frames therapy as a joint process. He helps clients set clear goals, track progress, and adjust plans when needed.
This keeps work focused and helps people measure small steps forward. People who choose him often want direct feedback, concrete techniques, and a calm professional voice to guide them through change. He combines coaching-style support with therapeutic methods to help clients move toward more stable daily life.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy puts your experience front and center. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters to you, and helps you set goals. This approach fits issues like anxiety, relationship problems, and grief where understanding your perspective matters.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete steps such as testing unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build calm. It can be useful alongside other techniques for stress, anger, and coping with life changes.
Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try an approach, and adjust as you see what helps. That shared testing makes it easier to find practical tools that fit your life.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is good for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you need a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let you check in between sessions or communicate when typing is easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
