How her approaches work in online therapy

Dr. Curry uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is goal-oriented and often involves practical exercises you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage moods, or change problematic behaviors.

She also draws on Existential Therapy, which helps people examine meaning, choice, and responsibility in their lives. This approach can be helpful when facing grief, life transitions, questions about purpose, or the big emotions that come with endings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Curry will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, values, and day-to-day needs. She emphasizes teamwork and clear steps so clients know what to expect and can track progress.

It can also allow sessions during transitions like caregiving responsibilities or work breaks, while keeping focus on practical coping tools and steps toward change.
