About Michael
Michael Curry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and jealousy-related worries. He also supports those coping with depression, addiction, grief, parenting strain, work stress, and life transitions. His manner is straightforward and goal-focused, aiming to help people build hope and practical skills.
He uses conversational, client-centered work to understand what matters most to each person. Then he adds tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to change thoughts and daily habits that get in the way. He also draws on existential ideas when people are feeling stuck by meaning or life direction.
Michael brings about 10 years of counseling experience in community, hospital, and ministry settings. That time includes work with people affected by trauma, substance difficulties, and complex family dynamics. He has experience supporting LGBT clients and those navigating adoption, blended families, and fatherhood issues.
In sessions he focuses on noticeable steps - clear goals, manageable exercises, and check-ins on progress. He also offers support for anger-related concerns and has training in anger management techniques. Conversations may include practical communication skills, coping strategies, and ways to rebuild trust and closeness.
He describes therapy as a shared journey where the client leads and he helps shape the path. To begin, Michael asks about immediate needs and long-term goals so each session moves toward better coping, greater consistency, and renewed strength.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. Online sessions let the therapist and client spend time understanding what matters most and set goals together. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, uses short exercises and homework to change thoughts and routines that keep problems going. This can include tracking patterns, practicing skills between sessions, and testing new behaviors in daily life.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT, client-centered work, or a blend suited to the issue at hand, and they adjust the plan as progress is made.
Please confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy routine, lets them schedule shorter check-ins when needed, and makes it easier to keep continuity during life changes. Therapists can use these sessions to assign short practice tasks, review progress, and work on communication or coping skills between meetings.
