About Michael
Michael Curry is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 10 years of clinical experience based in Louisiana. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and other concerns common in early adulthood.
He meets people in a straightforward way and focuses on practical skills. Sessions often include talking through what's happening now, identifying unhelpful patterns, and trying small changes to test what helps. Michael uses approaches like Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness tools to support those steps.
Michael also brings experience from ministry and military service into his work. That background informs how he talks about values, purpose, and responsibility without imposing any particular belief. He has worked in mental health rehabilitation centers and hospitals, and with church communities, which gave him exposure to a wide range of concerns and life stages.
When relationship issues come up, he draws on the Gottman Method to look at communication patterns and rebuild trust and connection. For people dealing with addiction or anger, he includes clear strategies to manage triggers and reduce harmful behaviors. He also helps people facing career changes, parenting stress, adoption or blended family questions, and coping after loss.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Michael will often suggest short exercises between meetings and check progress at the next session. He asks new clients to complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin working together.
Approaches Michael Uses and how online work fits
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people feel understood and clarify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches focused attention and simple exercises to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can help with anxiety, anger, and cravings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michael will discuss options with each person and try approaches that match their goals and preferences. That is a collaborative process and he will check in to adjust techniques as needed.
The exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking, as they are not specified here. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins between longer appointments. Talk with him during the intake questionnaire about how you want sessions scheduled and what will fit into your daily routine.
