Background and approach
Her approach blends cognitive-behavioral ideas, humanistic principles, and psychodynamic perspectives. In practice this can look like identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, focusing on present strengths, and noticing repeating relationship themes that affect mood. The goal is to build manageable skills and clearer self-understanding.
Curtrice has experience with a broad range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger, and career transitions. She has also worked with people affected by incarceration and related re-entry challenges. Sessions aim to be collaborative.
Curtrice helps clients set realistic goals and checks in about what is working. She encourages small, consistent changes that fit daily life and lead to lasting improvement.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Curtrice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and deeper understanding. Cognitive-behavioral approaches help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and unhealthy habits. Humanistic methods emphasize respect, empathy, and a person’s strengths to support self-esteem and motivation. Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring patterns from past relationships to help explain current emotional reactions and improve relationship choices.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there she tailors the mix of techniques and checks in regularly to adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer work and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are convenient for quick check-ins, short updates, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into daily life and keep continuity between appointments.
