About Michelle

Michelle Curry is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - with 21 years of experience guiding individuals, children, and families through a range of life challenges. She approaches each person with compassion and a commitment to nonjudgmental care, striving to provide a respectful space where everyone has a voice and the opportunity to share their story. Over the course of her career she has worked with families and children across varying ages, abilities, and disabilities, helping to conceptualize the mental health struggles people encounter in daily life.

In her role as a therapist Michelle emphasizes attentive listening, empathy, and practical support. She aims to offer tools and strategies that align with each client’s goals so they can build stronger coping skills and clearer self-understanding. Michelle recognizes that therapeutic progress unfolds over time and focuses on steady, collaborative work that addresses both individual concerns and the relational dynamics that impact well-being. She hopes to have the opportunity to support clients as they move toward greater insight and improved functioning.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care Options

Michelle Curry uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the concerns a client brings, focusing on approaches that build practical skills and address the impact of past and current stressors. One approach centers on skills-based work that helps clients develop coping strategies for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns - this involves teaching concrete tools to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. A second emphasis is on trauma-focused work that helps individuals understand how difficult experiences shape thoughts, feelings, and relationships and supports gradual processing and recovery in ways that fit each person’s pace and needs.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Michelle partners with clients to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and then adapts interventions over time so the work remains relevant and effective for each person. She aims to create a treatment plan that feels manageable and aligned with the client’s priorities.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to engage in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels. These remote formats make it easier to maintain regular contact, fit sessions into busy lives, and access consistent support from licensed professionals without the need to travel.
