About Michael
Michael Curry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and addiction-related issues. He also supports people coping with grief, parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, anger, career changes, and ADHD. Michael uses straightforward language and practical steps so conversations feel clear and focused from the first session.
His style centers on listening and helping people name what matters most to them.
Background and approach
He combines client-centered care with cognitive behavioral tools to address thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Mindfulness and existential ideas help clients connect with values and purpose when life feels uncertain. Michael draws on ten years of counseling experience.
That background includes work in mental health rehabilitation settings and a mental health hospital, plus counseling through his ministry. Those roles exposed him to a wide range of concerns and cultural situations. He also has experience with anger management and offers support for people facing relational conflict and codependency issues.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Michael often uses brief exercises, skill-building, and conversational problem solving so people leave with something to practice between sessions. He also brings spiritual awareness into sessions when clients want that included.
People who meet with Michael typically get clear examples, simple tools, and a plan they can try. He aims to help clients notice progress and build resilience as they move through life changes and hard moments.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people feel heard. The therapist follows the client's lead, clarifies what matters to them, and supports self-directed growth. This approach is useful for building trust and exploring personal values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses simple exercises to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behavior. It often includes short homework tasks and practical tools for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Mindfulness Therapy adds attention-training exercises that help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away. It can be helpful for emotional regulation, sleep problems, and coping with cravings or urges.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Michael will work with each person to try methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they track what helps and adjust the work as needed so sessions stay relevant and usable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Chat or messaging is useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, and shorter coaching-style exchanges. These options let people fit counseling into their day and continue work even when schedules or locations change.
