About Michael
Michael Curry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with ten years of clinical experience. He focuses on parenting concerns as well as stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, depression, addictions, grief, sleep and eating problems, and self-esteem struggles. He also helps people facing career changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges.
His style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. He listens first, then suggests steps that people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
The aim is to help clients notice what works and build on it. Michael uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. He draws on client-centered techniques to keep the conversation focused on what matters to the individual.
He also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and change related behaviors. Mindfulness practices are woven in to help with stress and attention. He has worked in community mental health settings, a mental health hospital, and through church-based services.
Those roles exposed him to a wide range of concerns and cultural contexts. His background includes military and ministry experience, which inform his interest in ethical, values-based care. People who come to him together with a parenting concern or for help with relationship strains can expect clear steps, homework when useful, and an emphasis on practical coping.
He frames change as a series of small, measurable steps toward greater stability and resilience.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's priorities and strengths. The therapist listens without judgment and supports clients as they set their own goals, which helps when dealing with parenting stress or relationship strain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then tests small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and habits that affect sleep, eating, or parenting routines.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, values, and daily life. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new challenges appear.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and practice communication skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messages are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, and staying connected between longer sessions. Together, these formats offer flexibility so therapy can fit into busy family routines, work breaks, and other real-life schedules.
