Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Carolyn Curry uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the person’s priorities guide the work - this approach helps when someone needs empathy, validation, and a place to explore values and goals. She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress and to build practical coping skills. Motivational interviewing is used when people are ambivalent about change; it helps clarify values, strengthen motivation, and support step-by-step progress toward goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Curry collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility for those balancing work, caregiving, or mobility concerns. Sessions can take place via video calls, by phone, through live chat, or by text-based messaging, allowing people to choose the format that fits their life and supports consistency in care with licensed professionals and therapists.
