Michael Curry, LPC

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 those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating struggles, parenting challenges, ADHD, and career or life changes. Michael uses everyday language and practical steps to help people move forward.

He focuses on building hope, resilience, and recovery through a collaborative process. Sessions aim to identify manageable changes and develop coping skills people can use between meetings. Michael draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs rather than relying on one single method.

Before becoming a counselor he has experience in military service and ministry and has worked in mental health hospital settings and rehabilitation centers. That variety of settings exposed him to many different life situations and cultural perspectives. He brings that background into simple, goal-oriented work with clients.

Michael describes therapy as a journey taken together, with each session a step toward better self-care and well-being. He offers spiritual-based counseling when clients prefer that perspective. In sessions he aims to be direct, compassionate, and focused on practical next steps.

People who choose him typically want clear tools for handling intense emotions, improving communication, or managing daily habits that get in the way of goals. He encourages small, consistent changes that add up over time.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person says. It helps people feel heard and clarifies their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and habits interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and sensations without judgment and can help with emotion regulation and everyday coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will pick methods and try small changes, then adjust the plan based on what fits the person best. The process is collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for more consistent check-ins. It also lets people use skills learned in session immediately in their daily routines. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and communication to suit how you prefer to meet.
