Dr. Jessica Curd , LCSW

Dr. Jessica Curd helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions. She also supports those coping with ADHD, depression, bipolar concerns, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and LGBT issues. Her work often includes people facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, or burnout from compassion fatigue.

Jessica Curd is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of professional experience. She works in Indiana and conducts sessions in English. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She aims to make the room a place where people can speak plainly about what they are facing.

In sessions she leans on approaches that emphasize the client's voice and practical skills. She uses client-centered methods to follow a person's lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break unhelpful thinking and build new routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy supports emotional regulation and coping skills.

Jessica also brings existential and emotionally focused ideas into conversations about meaning, loss, and relationships. That mix can help when someone is grieving, reevaluating their life, or repairing important attachments. She focuses on concrete tools and real-world changes rather than jargon.

People can expect straightforward goal-setting and check-ins about what is or isn't working. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging so people can choose what fits their day. Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy flow.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, helping them name what matters and set personal goals. This approach supports people who need a calm, validating space to talk through stress, grief, or life decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and habits into small, manageable steps. It pairs discussion with practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, depression, and problems with motivation.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It is useful for people who feel overwhelmed by strong emotions or who want tools to manage conflict and stress.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is often used for in-depth conversations and skill-building. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work around bandwidth limits. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, tracking progress, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while maintaining consistent contact with a licensed professional.
