About Michael

Michael Curry is an LPC based in Louisiana who brings a decade of clinical experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, mood difficulties, addiction, trauma, and a broad range of life challenges.

Background and approach

He emphasizes practical skill building and evidence-informed techniques to help clients move beyond current struggles toward greater resilience, healthier relationships, and a renewed sense of purpose. Michael frames therapy as a collaborative journey in which each session contributes to growth in body, mind, and spirit.

He draws from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral strategies, client-centered work, existential perspectives, Gottman-informed relationship interventions, and mindfulness practices to tailor care to each person’s needs.

His background includes work in mental health rehabilitation settings, a hospital, and ministry-based support, and he is experienced addressing issues such as anger, grief, parenting concerns, career challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Michael offers a supportive, goal-oriented style that seeks to build hope, recovery, and practical coping skills so clients can pursue meaningful change and reach their goals.

Practical approaches and online therapy options

Michael commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. He also integrates client-centered techniques that prioritize empathic listening and collaboration, helping people clarify values and set personally meaningful goals. These methods are often paired with mindfulness practices to support emotion regulation and present-moment awareness.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the nature of presenting concerns and then adapt tools and interventions in collaboration with the client so treatment feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Michael is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and access care from different locations within his licensed area. These formats provide flexibility for ongoing skills practice, check-ins between sessions, and a variety of ways to communicate based on what feels most comfortable for the client.
