Joanne Curgian, LPC

Joanne Curgian brings 14 years of experience to her counseling practice, offering support across a range of settings including residential treatment, inpatient and crisis intervention, substance abuse programs, probation services, and private practice. She holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, and applies that training to help clients navigate life challenges and change.

Joanne views therapy as a resource that should be within reach for anyone seeking it. She emphasizes practical, accessible care that meets people where they are and addresses concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family dynamics, mood disorders, and transitions across the lifespan. Her background working in diverse treatment environments informs a flexible approach to each client’s needs.

Deciding to pursue counseling is an important first step, and Joanne approaches that decision with respect and encouragement. She aims to collaborate with clients as they set goals, explore coping strategies, and build healthier patterns. Joanne looks forward to supporting people through their journeys toward greater resilience and well-being.

Approach-Focused Online Support and Care

Client-Centered Therapy is grounded in empathy and respect for each person’s experience. Joanne creates a supportive environment where clients lead the conversation, and the therapist listens and reflects to help clients clarify values, build self-awareness, and make meaningful changes. This approach is often helpful for people navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, and issues related to self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and learning practical skills to change them. Through CBT, clients work with the therapist to set specific goals, practice new coping strategies, and track progress. This method can be effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work, and Joanne treats that as a collaborative process. She partners with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those who find remote access more convenient. These options allow clients to engage in consistent care from different locations and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
