Curley Simpson, LMFT

Curley Simpson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Georgia with more than 12 years of professional experience and 28 years of marriage. He works with individuals, couples, and families to address stress and anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, and family conflicts, helping clients navigate difficult transitions and rebuild connection. Curley approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, holding the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and already possesses resources that can be mobilized toward change.

He emphasizes the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and frames his role as one of support and empowerment throughout that process. Drawing on decades of personal and clinical experience, he partners with clients to identify practical steps forward, foster clearer communication, and develop healthier coping strategies. As an LMFT - a credential that indicates specialized training in working with partners and family systems - he focuses on relational dynamics as well as individual growth, tailoring his work to the needs and goals of those he serves.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy for Individuals and Families

Curley Simpson draws from several evidence-informed approaches to tailor online work to each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes active listening and empathy, creating a supportive space where clients lead the conversation and discover their own solutions; this approach is helpful for building self-esteem and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets patterns in close relationships by helping partners and family members access and express underlying emotions, which can strengthen bonds and resolve conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Curley collaborates with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and tailors methods so therapy feels useful and relevant. That collaborative planning helps determine whether short-term skills work, deeper relational work, or a blend of techniques will be most effective.

Online therapy with Curley is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which increases flexibility for busy schedules and those in different parts of Georgia. These options make it easier to fit therapy into life while maintaining continuity of care and adapting to each person’s practical needs.
