About Michael

Michael Curry is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on men's wellbeing along with a broad range of other concerns. He helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, grief, and life transitions. He writes simply and meets people where they are in the moment.

Michael uses clear, practical steps in sessions. He draws on client-centered work to follow each person's priorities. He uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns that keep them stuck and to test small changes. He also brings mindfulness and existential perspectives to help people notice what matters and make choices that match their values.

He aims for sessions that feel like a steady conversation rather than a lecture. He listens for immediate problems and for longer stories that shape how someone responds to stress. Together he and the person set goals, try small experiments, and track what changes.

His background includes about ten years of practice and time working in mental health settings and community ministry. That mix led him to support people facing trauma, addiction, parenting strain, and moral or spiritual questions.

People who work with Michael can expect direct talk about coping skills, relationship patterns, and next steps. He encourages practical routines for sleep, eating, and attention. He also helps people sort through grief, anger, and decisions about work or family life.

How these approaches work for online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person says matters most. In online sessions this looks like space to tell your story and have the therapist reflect back what seems important, helping you notice choices and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and then tests small changes. Remotely, that can mean trying short experiments between meetings, tracking patterns in daily life, and reporting back what did or did not help.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and build calm. Online work often uses short guided practices and homework to make those skills part of everyday routines.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, and try approaches that fit. If something does not feel right, adjustments are made together so therapy stays useful and manageable.

Practical benefits of online therapy depend on the session formats offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit sessions into a busy week, saves travel time, and makes it easier to maintain regular check-ins. It also supports steady progress through homework, brief experiments, and ongoing conversation about relationship and emotional goals.
