About Jerri
Dr. Jerri Curry is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 40 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, grief, anger, and related life challenges. Sessions are described in practical terms and aim to help people change unhelpful patterns through thought and choice.
Dr. Curry frames change as an internal process. She encourages clients to notice repeating patterns and take responsibility for choices. Conversation in sessions focuses on identifying thinking that gets in the way and trying different responses. The work is straightforward and action-oriented at times.
Her use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people link thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and test new ways of responding to stress and triggers. Existential Therapy elements support exploring meaning, responsibility, and what matters most when life shifts or losses occur. That combination is applied to issues such as grief, career changes, and midlife questions.
Dr. Curry also addresses practical problems like sleep, eating concerns, caregiver stress, and communication breakdowns. She names specific areas she helps with, including first responder issues, abandonment, body image, and post-traumatic stress. Clients might expect conversations about coping skills, values, and concrete steps between sessions.
Her approach underscores that changing thought patterns can change how life feels. People who want direct, thought-focused work and who are ready to try new responses may find this style useful. Prospective clients should review therapy options and scheduling details before booking.
How sessions work
How CBT and Existential Approaches Work Online
CBT helps people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and then try new behaviors to reduce stress and reactivity. It is useful for anxiety, anger that comes from automatic thinking, sleep and eating problems, and mood difficulties.Existential Therapy looks at values, responsibility, and meaning when life changes or loss occur. It helps people who are wrestling with purpose, midlife questions, grief, or the sense that their choices matter.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That conversation typically explores what is most pressing, what has helped before, and what practical steps to try between sessions.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Look for formats that fit your routine and reduce barriers to consistent work, such as shorter check-ins if time is limited or audio-only meetings when bandwidth is an issue. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday or to continue meetings across life changes, while allowing the therapist and client to focus on practical skills and values-driven decisions.
