About Jessica
Dr. Jessica Curd is an LCSW in Indiana with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, life changes, ADHD, relationship strain, self-esteem concerns, depression, bipolar disorder, and codependency. Sessions also address caregiving stress, chronic illness, and communication problems.
She uses a mix of practical therapy methods to help people name patterns and try different ways of responding. That can look like talking through recent conflicts, practicing new ways to set boundaries, or trying skills to manage overwhelming feelings. Sessions are focused on what will help a person feel more able to cope day to day.
Jessica draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person. She also brings cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Emotionally-focused ideas can help when relationship or attachment issues are central.
Her background includes long experience with grief and loss and work supporting people affected by autism and ADHD, including caregivers. Jessica keeps explanations straightforward and gives concrete strategies people can use between sessions. She also assists with career and parenting concerns when those come up.
Outside of practice she spends time with family and dogs and likes hiking, running, and creative writing. To begin, visitors are asked to use the site matching steps to pick a session and schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. In practice that means sessions begin by asking what concerns feel most urgent and then building from there, which can help with stress, grief, and relationship issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical steps to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and for spotting people-pleasing or codependent patterns and trying alternative responses.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and tolerating distress. Those skills can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when boundary-setting feels impossible.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will review goals and try methods together to see what fits. She adapts techniques based on how a person responds and on their priorities.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find it simpler to practice skills between sessions when therapy fits into their regular routine.
