About Jessica
Dr. Jessica Curd is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, coping with life changes, ADHD, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and related issues. She also lists family of origin issues among her focus areas and supports people dealing with attachment concerns and patterns from childhood.
Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that repeat from earlier family life and on building tools to change those patterns. She uses client-centered work alongside cognitive and behavioral strategies to help people notice thoughts and test new ways of responding.
Dr. Curd also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills and emotionally-focused ideas when relationships or strong emotions are central. Those methods offer ways to manage intense feelings and to improve communication so daily life feels less reactive and more manageable.
She has worked with people coping with chronic health issues, caregiving stress, and grief as well as concerns like codependency, communication problems, and abandonment. Her experience includes helping people who identify as LGBT and those navigating life and career transitions.
Outside of clinical work she spends free time with family, dogs, and outdoor activities such as running, hiking, and camping. She enjoys travel and creative writing, interests that inform a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can better understand their own thoughts and feelings. In an online session this means the therapist follows the client's lead, asks clarifying questions, and helps name patterns that come from earlier family life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online work with CBT often involves identifying unhelpful thinking, trying out small experiments between sessions, and using concrete tools to reduce anxiety or to improve mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills offer practical ways to manage intense emotions and improve interactions with others. These skills can be practiced in sessions and applied to relationship struggles or to patterns that repeat from childhood.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first and adjust based on how those methods feel and what is helpful.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering options that match daily routines. Licensed professionals can help choose session length and pacing that fit each person's schedule.
