Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care with Curtrice Scott

Curtrice uses cognitive-behavioral methods to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and addictive patterns. She also integrates psychodynamic work to explore how past relationships and experiences influence current emotions and coping, which can be helpful for deeper relational issues and long-standing patterns. When appropriate, humanistic principles are applied to support personal growth, self-esteem, and a collaborative, empathetic therapeutic relationship.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Curtrice works collaboratively with clients to determine which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time so therapy remains responsive and practical.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access therapy around work, family, and other responsibilities. These options provide flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult, and let clients engage in treatment in ways that suit their comfort and daily life.
