About Robert
Robert Curriden is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with four years of professional experience. He works with adults on problems such as trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, addictions, and young adult issues. He also addresses areas like career stress, grief, parenting concerns, ADHD, and relationship styles that include non-monogamy.
He frames work as a collaborative process and treats clients as experts on their own stories. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, talking through obstacles, and developing practical skills to manage mood, sleep, anger, or addictive behaviors. The tone is straightforward and goal-oriented rather than overly clinical.
Robert uses several well-known therapeutic approaches to match different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for mood swings, emotion regulation, and managing intense reactions. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas guide how relationships and personal values shape current struggles.
He routinely supports people coping with life transitions such as leaving home, starting work, or returning to study. He also works with clients navigating identity questions, shame, isolation, and family-of-origin concerns. Practical coaching around goals and routines is part of the work for many clients.
Sessions are conducted in English from his New York practice. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Robert commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in session. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change them into more constructive patterns, which can ease depression and anxiety. DBT teaches clear skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive behaviors.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative discussion guides whether the focus is skills practice, exploring relationship patterns, or working on values and meaning.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or let someone join from a quieter spot. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and worksheets for remote sessions so practical skill building continues even when meeting remotely.
