About Michael
Michael Curry is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with ten years of clinical experience based in Louisiana. He works with adults on issues such as anger, anxiety, depression, relationships, intimacy concerns, and stress. He also addresses addictions, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, and career or life-change challenges.
Michael describes a practical, skills-focused approach. He uses evidence-based methods to help people manage strong emotions and improve day-to-day functioning. In sessions he listens to how problems show up in life, then teaches tools people can use between meetings to reduce reactivity and improve communication.
His background includes work in mental health rehabilitation centers and a mental health hospital, along with counseling within a church setting. Those roles exposed him to a wide range of clinical issues and care settings. He also notes experience in the military and time working abroad, which inform his awareness of cultural differences in therapy.
Michael offers spiritually informed counseling when a client requests it and has training in anger management. He integrates approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness practices, and relationship-focused methods to address communication and trust concerns. Sessions typically focus on concrete skills, clearer thinking around triggering situations, and steps to rebuild connection.
People who come to him often want practical strategies for reacting less in the moment, repairing strained relationships, or managing stress that mounts into anger. He asks clients to set clear goals and practices small, measurable steps between sessions to track progress.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people clarify what matters to them. It supports working through relationship and self-esteem issues by centering the client's perspective and goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is useful for anger, anxiety, depression, and for managing reactions that repeat in stressful situations.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of emotions as they arise. These practices can make it easier to choose a different response in heated moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and revise the plan if something isn't working.
Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online appointments can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel, offering shorter check-ins when needed, and allowing sessions during work breaks or evenings. These practical benefits can make it easier to keep steady practice with the techniques learned in sessions.
