Robert Curriden , LMHC

Robert Curriden is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with four years of professional experience. As an LMHC he holds a credential that signifies formal training to provide mental health counseling and psychotherapy. Over the course of his practice he has supported people facing trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, and challenges related to identity and relationships.

His work emphasizes the strengths each person brings to their story. He approaches therapy from the view that individuals are the experts on their own lives and that existing strengths can be used to navigate obstacles and build greater resilience. Clients seeking to improve motivation, manage grief, address family-of-origin concerns, or cope with life changes can expect practical collaboration grounded in respect for their perspective.

Robert also brings experience working with a wide range of needs including ADHD, bipolar concerns, parenting and career stressors, sleep difficulties, compassion fatigue, and issues related to neurodiversity and disability. He aims to empower people who are ready to take steps toward a more fulfilling life, offering steady support as they pursue meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Robert integrates several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust, and it can be helpful for those working through family-of-origin issues, relationship struggles, or long-standing attachment wounds. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the center of the work, prioritizing empathy, active listening, and the client’s own goals so they can build self-esteem and confidence at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and addictive behaviors while offering practical coping strategies.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Robert collaborates with clients to determine which methods best fit their goals, concerns, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, family, and daily responsibilities, and they provide multiple formats for communicating so people can choose what feels most comfortable and effective for them.
