About Michael

Michael Curry is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Louisiana who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy challenges, depression, addiction, and ADHD. He uses straightforward conversation to help people find small, practical steps forward. Sessions focus on skills people can use the day after a session.

He aims to meet people where they are and build on existing strengths. Michael draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work focused on each person's priorities.

Background and approach

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that get in the way and help replace them with more useful habits. His background includes work in mental health rehabilitation centers and a mental health hospital, plus experience providing counseling within a church setting. Those roles gave him exposure to a wide range of mental health concerns and life situations.

Michael spent time in the military and has ministerial experience, which informs his comfort discussing spiritual and cultural topics when clients wish to include them. He offers spiritual-based counseling when clients want that perspective as part of their work. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, often combining talk with specific exercises to practice between meetings.

He seeks to help people build hope, recovery, and resilience one step at a time. People who choose him can expect a mix of supportive listening and concrete tools. The focus is on realistic change that fits a person's life and values.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions keep that same emphasis by letting the therapist and client set the agenda together and move at the client’s pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short, practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it works well over video or phone because homework and skill practice are easy to assign and review. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that help with anxiety, stress, and attention challenges, and these exercises can be guided in any session format.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That conversation may shift as progress is made, with adjustments to techniques or focus over time.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and real-time interaction. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging make brief check-ins and homework follow-ups easy to fit into a busy day. Together these options help make consistent therapy more manageable for people with varied schedules and commitments.
