About Michael
Michael Curry is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 10 years of clinical experience based in Louisiana. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem concerns, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related life changes.
He offers straightforward, practical sessions where the focus is on skills and real problems. Sessions tend to involve talking through what is happening now, trying methods that can be practiced between meetings, and checking what helps. Michael uses a mix of approaches that fit the person and the issue rather than a single fixed method.
His background includes work in mental health rehabilitation centers and a mental health hospital, as well as counseling within his church. That range of settings means he has experience supporting people with varied mental health concerns and different life circumstances.
Michael also draws on experience from military service and ministry, which has informed his awareness of cultural and life-stage differences. He provides faith-informed counseling when that is requested by the person seeking help.
In sessions he emphasizes building coping skills, managing difficult feelings, and improving communication in close relationships. People can expect clear suggestions, behavioral strategies, and exercises they can use between meetings to test what works.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person and helping them identify their own goals. This approach supports people who want to make practical changes and be heard while they work through concerns like anxiety or relationship strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, sleeping and eating problems, and managing strong emotions through concrete exercises.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods that match the person's goals, needs, and preferences. That selection can change over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow for flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. Phone or video sessions can also support different practical needs such as a shorter check-in or avoiding video when bandwidth is limited. Ask about the session options and how they might work for everyday routines.
