About Michael
Michael Curry is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Louisiana with ten years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, intimacy issues, self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and codependency among other concerns.
He focuses on practical skill building in session. Conversations often include spotting patterns that keep someone putting others first, practicing clearer communication, and setting small limits that feel doable. He also brings experience working with people impacted by substance use, family conflict, and major life changes.
Michael uses several well-known therapy approaches to structure sessions. He draws on Client-Centered conversations to listen and reflect what matters most to the person. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns and try different behaviors. Mindfulness tools are used when slowing down and grounding help during stress or cravings.
His background includes work in mental health rehabilitation centers and a mental health hospital, plus counseling within his church and experience from military service. That mix shows up as familiarity with a wide range of life and cultural situations.
Sessions combine practical coaching and therapeutic conversation. People can expect straightforward talk, exercises to try between sessions, and attention to what the person wants to change next.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Michael commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in session. Client-Centered Therapy means a therapist-centered listening style that focuses on the person’s priorities and reflections; it helps when someone needs space to name their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns.He also brings mindfulness techniques into sessions to help with stress, cravings, and grounding during strong emotions. These techniques are short practices and breathing or attention exercises that people can use between sessions to reduce reactivity and be more present in conversations with others.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss the methods that seem to fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust plans based on what works in practice. That conversation is part of early sessions rather than a one-time decision.
If you are considering online work, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and reduce travel time so consistent work is more realistic.
