Robert Curriden , LMHC

Robert Curriden is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with four years of clinical experience. He has worked with people facing trauma and abuse, struggles with motivation, self esteem and confidence challenges, and symptoms of depression. His background centers on helping clients identify strengths and build on them to move through difficult experiences.

Robert approaches therapy from a standpoint that the client is the expert of their own life story. He recognizes the courage it takes to seek change and to pursue a more satisfying, balanced life. Rather than dictating solutions, he aims to support and empower individuals as they explore goals, discover resources, and make sustainable shifts.

LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor, a credential for professionals trained to provide counseling and therapeutic support. Robert draws on that clinical training to offer compassionate, strength-based care tailored to each person’s needs and pace.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Robert often integrates Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into his work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape emotional patterns and helps people develop more secure ways of relating to themselves and others, which can be useful for trauma and relationship concerns. CBT is a practical approach that identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches skills to shift those patterns, often benefiting anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Robert collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so the work remains client-centered and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access care around work, family, and other commitments. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent support and skill-building from a distance while accommodating different communication styles and schedules.
