About Michael
Michael Curry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who helps people manage anger and related struggles. He supports individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and addictions. He also addresses concerns like self-esteem, grief, sleep and eating problems, and career or life-change stress.
He favors straightforward, practical work in sessions. Michael listens first, then helps people name what is happening and try small changes that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
He draws on cognitive tools, mindfulness practices, and relationship-focused techniques to help clients find what works for them. With ten years of clinical experience, Michael has worked in mental health rehabilitation centers and a mental health hospital, and has provided counseling in church settings. Those roles gave him exposure to a wide range of concerns and cultural backgrounds.
He also has experience from military and ministry contexts that inform his perspective. Therapy sessions aim to build coping skills, reduce reactivity, and strengthen relationships. Michael blends client-centered listening with structured tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people change unhelpful patterns.
He also uses approaches that focus on meaning and values when clients want to explore purpose and life direction. People who come for help can expect a collaborative pace. Michael works with each person to set manageable goals and track progress.
He welcomes questions about how therapy will run and what to expect from the process.

How Michael’s approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered therapy places the person's experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what is said, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach is helpful when someone needs a calm space to sort feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions to find small changes that reduce upset and improve behavior. It is practical for anger, anxiety, and depression because it teaches concrete skills to manage triggers and reframe unhelpful thinking.
Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase focus on the present moment. It can help people notice anger early and choose different responses instead of reacting automatically.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps. That way the plan fits the client's needs and preferences rather than following a fixed script.
Online formats offer flexible ways to work together. Video calls support a face-to-face conversation when interaction and body language matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when you need a check-in but don’t want to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
