About Joanne
Joanne Curgian is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of experience across residential treatment, inpatient crisis intervention, substance abuse programs, probation services, and independent practice.
Background and approach
She works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, ADHD, and responses to life transitions. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, codependency, gender dysphoria, and postpartum depression.
Joanne blends practical, evidence-informed methods to make therapy approachable and useful for daily life. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and client-centered therapy to create an empathic space where each person’s goals guide the work.
Her background in crisis and residential settings informs a steady, experienced approach when addressing acute problems as well as longer-term growth. Joanne values accessible care and supports people taking the first step toward change.
She encourages clients to set realistic goals and to collaborate on strategies that fit their circumstances and strengths.
Practical approaches for online therapy and change
Joanne often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and to practice concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood symptoms, and addictive behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy is another cornerstone of her work and emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so that the client’s priorities drive treatment and feel respected.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Joanne works with each person to explore which methods match their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so the plan remains relevant and effective for day-to-day challenges.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life transitions. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow consistent contact between sessions when useful, and help clients access licensed professionals from different locations within Texas.
