About Robert
Robert Curriden is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing low self-esteem, depression, trauma, and parenting stress. He frames clients as the experts on their own lives and focuses on building on each person’s strengths. The tone in sessions is supportive and practical, aimed at people ready to try something different.
He works in a way that centers the person's experience. Conversations look at what is happening now and what small steps could make life feel better. Robert helps people name their priorities, set manageable goals, and practice new ways of responding to old problems.
His background includes four years of professional experience working with issues such as addiction, grief, sleep problems, anger, and coping with life changes. He also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, ADHD, and concerns related to sexual orientation. Additional focuses listed include autism and Asperger syndrome, codependency, family of origin issues, and traumatic brain injury.
Robert uses several therapeutic approaches to match different needs. He draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationships, client-centered methods that follow the person's pace, and cognitive-behavioral techniques for changing unhelpful patterns. He also integrates dialectical behavior skills and existential ideas about meaning when helpful.
People who choose him can expect a calm, collaborative space to try new strategies and work toward clearer priorities. To begin, visitors are invited to use the Start Therapy flow and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and how early connections affect current bonds; it helps people understand patterns in close relationships and feel steadier in how they relate to others. Client-centered therapy centers the person's perspective and pace, offering listening and reflective feedback to build trust and clarify goals. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to change those patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That process can mean trying a mix of strategies and adjusting based on what helps most.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing commute time and allowing a quicker check-in during a lunch break or between activities. Some online options may also let people choose shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or avoid video when bandwidth is limited. Discuss scheduling and format preferences with the therapist when you start so sessions can fit practical needs.
