Dennis Curcio, LPC

Dennis Curcio is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with more than 15 years of experience helping people navigate depression, anxiety, anger, ADHD, and self-esteem concerns. As an LPC he holds a state license to provide professional counseling and has applied that training across residential treatment facilities, private practices, and nonprofit settings including crisis shelters.

He has extensive experience supporting individuals who have endured physical, sexual, or emotional trauma, helping them process difficult experiences and develop practical coping skills. Dennis draws on an eclectic mix of therapeutic methods, emphasizing approaches that support safety, self-awareness, and practical problem solving.

His practice leans on person-centered principles to create a nonjudgmental space, trauma-focused themes to address harm and recovery, cognitive behavioral strategies to shift patterns of thinking and behavior, and mindfulness techniques to strengthen present-moment awareness. These methods are used to empower clients to identify their own answers, build self-management skills, and make day-to-day challenges more manageable.

Dennis approaches the first sessions as an opportunity to build rapport and trust, then collaborates with clients to create a treatment plan grounded in clear goals. He aims to support clients toward personal growth and new possibilities, offering guidance and practical tools for meaningful change.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapeutic Support

Dennis Curcio uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and develop practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, and daily challenges. He also applies trauma-focused work, including Sanctuary-informed themes, to address the effects of physical, sexual, or emotional abuse and to support recovery and resilience. Mindfulness-based practices are integrated to strengthen present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can help with emotion regulation and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dennis works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they refine goals and adjust strategies as progress unfolds, ensuring the plan remains responsive and personalized.

Online therapy with Dennis is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals and maintain momentum between sessions, while allowing clients to choose the format that fits their life and therapeutic needs.
