About Robert
Robert Curriden is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York. He offers steady support for people feeling stuck by depression, low self-esteem, trauma, or addiction. He aims to help clients build on their strengths to move toward clearer goals and steadier days.
He sees each person as the expert on their own life and works collaboratively. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. Robert uses straightforward conversation to identify what’s getting in the way and what’s working already.
Background and approach
His work draws on attachment ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. Dialectical and existential approaches help with emotion regulation and finding meaning when life feels chaotic.
With four years of experience as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor, he brings a calm, problem-solving style to sessions. He supports people through grief, career shifts, parenting stress, and the strain of long-term conditions like bipolar or ADHD. Robert also has experience addressing issues such as codependency, family of origin concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, and post-traumatic stress.
He offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging as ways to connect. If someone wants clear, respectful help to make practical changes, he can be a steady partner in that work.
Therapeutic approaches for online support and growth
Robert blends attachment-based work with cognitive behavioral strategies to help people understand relationship patterns and change unhelpful thinking. Attachment-based ideas look at how early and current relationships influence feelings and reactions, useful for people wrestling with trust, closeness, or repeated relationship problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying negative thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression or anxiety.He also draws on dialectical behavior ideas when intense emotions or self-destructive patterns are present. DBT-style techniques teach concrete skills for managing strong feelings, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Together these approaches give both insight and practical tools, and the therapist will work with each client to find the right mix based on their goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions are helpful for face-to-face conversation and deeper work, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging allows ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or other commitments.
