About Robert
Robert Curriden is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with four years of clinical experience. He focuses on common concerns such as trauma and abuse, depression, low self-esteem, addictions, and motivation. He also works with issues tied to grief, sleeping problems, ADHD, and relationship structures like polyamory. His primary language for sessions is English.
Robert approaches work with clear, practical steps. He treats the person in front of him as the expert on their life and helps them notice patterns that get in the way. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different ways of responding to situations. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools alongside attachment and client-centered ideas where they fit.
He emphasizes skills people can use between meetings. Those skills may include short behavioral experiments, thought records, and grounding techniques to manage intense feelings. He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation when that is useful. The approach is concrete and task-focused rather than abstract.
Robert has experience supporting people with identity-related concerns, family of origin issues, and work or career stress. He also lists specialized focus areas such as autism and Asperger syndrome, traumatic brain injury, and hearing impairment. These notes reflect interests and areas he has worked with in practice.
To start, prospective clients are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Robert draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to set clear goals, track thoughts, and try brief behavioral experiments that can be done between meetings. CBT helps with depression, anxiety, sleeping problems, and patterns tied to self-esteem by focusing on concrete steps and observable changes.He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy concepts to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and connection patterns. Client-Centered Therapy informs the way he listens and reflects, giving space for the client to lead on what matters most. Together these methods help identify practical strategies and next steps in a collaborative way.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will help clients decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress is made. That decision is made together during the first sessions and revisited over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to fit short skill practice into a busy day, allow quieter surroundings that reduce interruptions, or let someone join without travel. Ask about session length and format when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match daily routines.
