About Robert
Robert Curriden is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with four years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem struggles, addiction, and related life stresses. He also supports people with ADHD, grief, career concerns, and relationship patterns such as codependency.
He approaches therapy from a perspective that centers the person's own experience. He treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps that feel doable, not on labels or blame.
Robert uses techniques drawn from attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns. He also draws on client-centered and dialectical ideas to balance acceptance with change. This means sessions can include talking, skill practice, and straightforward goal-setting.
People often come with trouble saying no, losing themselves in relationships, or living with another person's crisis or drinking. In sessions he helps identify boundary choices and small experiments to try between meetings. He also addresses sleep, anger, and motivation so daily life gets steadier.
For someone who put others first for too long, he aims for clear steps and steady progress. He asks practical questions and collaborates on plans that fit real schedules. The focus is on what to try next, and how to make those changes feel manageable.
How sessions work
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships. Online sessions can help people notice how past relationship needs show up now and practice different responses. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small behavior changes. Online meetings can include short skill practice and planning between sessions to see what works.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Together they decide whether attachment work, CBT, or a mix makes the most sense and adjust as progress is made.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, and remove the need to travel. These practical benefits help people keep momentum while testing new ways of relating and coping.
