About Curley
Curley Simpson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Georgia with 12 years of professional experience. He has been married for 28 years and focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, relationships, addictions, and anger.
He offers straightforward, person-centered care that treats the client as the expert in their own story. Sessions usually begin by identifying immediate problems and the strengths a person already has. That helps set small, doable goals for reducing reactivity and improving communication.
Curley draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot the thoughts and patterns that escalate anger or anxiety. He also uses emotionally-focused work to clarify what feelings sit under reactive behavior. Narrative and motivational approaches help people reframe their story and find reasons to change.
In couples or individual work he pays attention to how interactions escalate conflict and how to interrupt those cycles. He helps people talk through trust issues like infidelity, jealousy, or the strain that comes from first responder and veteran-related stress.
Clients can expect plainspoken feedback, practice tasks between sessions, and a focus on skills that fit everyday life. Curley helps people address grief, career stress, parenting strain, and multicultural or discrimination-related concerns as they relate to relationships and emotional regulation.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach emphasize supporting the client's own goals and identifying strengths to build on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In an online setting CBT is useful for learning practical skills to reduce reactivity, manage anxious thinking, and change patterns that feed anger. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognize underlying emotions that drive conflict. When adapted for remote work, EFT supports clearer emotional expression and learning new interaction scripts for relationships. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which combination of methods fits a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That discussion shapes what is practiced in sessions and what homework or experiments are given between meetings. Confirm session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or reduce travel time so sessions are more practical for daily life.Areas of focus
