About Robert
Robert Curriden is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with four years of professional experience. He works with adults who notice patterns from their family of origin, and he helps with trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, addictions, and parenting concerns. He also supports people coping with career changes, ADHD, grief, and relationship styles such as polyamory or non-monogamy.
Robert sees people as the experts on their own lives and builds on strengths already present. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer choices rather than labels. Conversations explore how childhood roles, family expectations, or learned reactions still show up today and affect daily life.
His approach blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening and evidence-informed techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. That means sessions include reflective listening, skill practice, and real-life problem solving. He uses straightforward exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving between meetings.
People meet Robert to reduce anxiety about repeating old patterns, to manage mood or addiction symptoms, or to build more consistent routines for sleep and work. He also offers support around questions of identity, isolation, and guilt or shame that come from family dynamics.
Practical conversations and collaborative planning are central. Robert works with each person to set short-term goals, try concrete strategies, and review what helps. The emphasis is on clear steps people can use outside sessions to change how daily life feels.
How his approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships shape expectations and reactions. Online sessions can use conversations to identify those patterns, practice new responses, and strengthen emotional awareness in day-to-day life. Client-centered therapy centers on listening and reflecting; virtually this looks like careful feedback and questions that help people clarify their own goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) uses short practical exercises to test thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions, these exercises can be assigned as between-session tasks and reviewed together.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That planning includes checking what techniques feel useful and adjusting them over time so sessions stay practical and relevant.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people prefer remote sessions because they fit around work, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online meetings also make it easier to practice real-life exercises and then talk through what happened in the next session.
