About Michelle

Michelle Curry is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 21 years of experience guiding individuals and families through meaningful change. She centers her work on compassion and respect, offering a nonjudgmental environment where each person’s story and voice are heard. Michelle has extensive experience working with families and children across a range of ages, abilities, and disabilities, and she approaches each case by considering the daily mental health challenges people face.

As a therapist, Michelle’s role is to listen carefully, offer empathic support, and provide practical tools to help clients move toward their goals. Her practice emphasizes helping people build self-understanding and recognize the relationship patterns and life dynamics that shape their well-being. Over time clients gain clearer insight into the factors affecting their mood, relationships, and responses to stress.

Michelle is dedicated to fostering emotional well-being without discrimination or judgment. She emphasizes a thoughtful, patient approach to healing and growth, acknowledging that change takes time while remaining committed to supporting each person’s process.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care



Michelle Curry uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping skills and relational insight. One approach emphasizes skills-based work - teaching concrete strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and mood so clients can navigate daily challenges more effectively. Another approach centers on understanding relationship patterns and emotional responses, helping people explore how past experiences and current dynamics affect connections with others and self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as progress unfolds so the treatment plan matches each person’s needs.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and varied lifestyles. These formats offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or geographic constraints, while allowing therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care and adapt session styles to what works best for each individual.
