Robert Curriden, LMHC

Robert Curriden is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with four years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with anger, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, addictions, and related concerns. He also supports people facing career stress, grief, sleep problems, ADHD, and relationship challenges.

Robert’s approach begins from the idea that each person knows their story best. He listens for strengths and patterns, then helps people try new ways of responding to stress and strong emotions. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills a person can use between meetings.

He commonly draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and test different behaviors. He also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective and goals. Attachment-based ideas guide work on close relationships and how early patterns affect current reactions.

Robert includes skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. He pays attention to identity-related issues, including LGBT concerns and neurodiversity such as autism. He also works with people handling family of origin problems, codependency, and guilt or shame.

People who come for anger concerns often want clearer ways to notice triggers, communicate without snapping, and reduce built-up resentment. Robert helps outline concrete steps for those aims and checks progress along the way.
