Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Jerri Curry integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential Therapy into her online practice to address a range of concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and habits related to addiction, offering practical strategies to manage symptoms and build coping skills. Existential Therapy explores meaning, choice, responsibility, and the tensions that arise during life transitions. It can help people facing questions about purpose, isolation, grief, and major life changes by clarifying values and strengthening personal agency.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Curry collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, needs, and personal preferences, adjusting the focus as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Dr. Curry is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and choose the format that best supports ongoing therapeutic work.
