About Robert
Robert Curriden is a licensed mental health counselor in New York. He focuses on helping people manage depression, trauma, anger, addictions, and parenting concerns. He centers sessions on each person's strengths and goals.
His style is practical and supportive for someone ready to make change. He believes clients know their own story and brings an open, respectful stance to conversations. That means listening first, asking clear questions, and helping people notice small steps that lead to bigger change.
Background and approach
Sessions often include simple strategies to handle strong emotions and day-to-day problems. Curriden uses tools from cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. He also draws on attachment ideas to look at how relationships shape reactions.
Dialectical skills and client-centered conversations are used when people need steady emotional support and clearer direction. He has four years of professional experience and works with issues such as grief, sleep problems, ADHD, and career stress. He also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, codependency, and identity concerns related to LGBT topics.
Practical coaching is offered alongside therapy when people want focused skill-building. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. People can expect straightforward guidance, coping skills to practice between meetings, and regular check-ins on progress.
Robert aims to help each person move toward more manageable days and clearer choices.

Approaches that translate to online care
Attachment-based work pays attention to how relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in their closest relationships and try different ways of connecting or setting boundaries.Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. In remote sessions this often means practicing small behavioral experiments and using brief worksheets between meetings to track progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean blending attachment ideas, CBT tools, and client-centered conversations as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer check-ins, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter conversation fits a work break, and chat or messaging can provide quick notes or ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and allow care to fit into busy family and work lives.
