About Jerri

Dr. Jerri Curry brings four decades of clinical experience as a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California.

Background and approach

She frames therapy around helping people shift unhelpful patterns by exploring how thoughts shape feelings and behavior, and she adapts sessions to each person’s particular concerns. Dr.

Curry emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while supporting clients through stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma, and other challenges. Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and rework thinking and behavior patterns, and on existential ideas that encourage greater self-awareness and responsibility for choices.

Whether someone is facing career strain, parenting pressures, intimacy issues, mood swings, or life transitions, she aims to empower them to make internal changes that lead to more fulfilling daily living. Dr.

Curry describes therapy as a collaborative process and offers practical guidance while honoring each person’s pace and goals.

Approaches for Online Care and Practical Change

Dr. Curry uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is often useful for anxiety, mood difficulties, panic symptoms, and problems with sleep or eating. She also draws on Existential Therapy, which encourages clients to explore meaning, values, and personal responsibility as a way to face life transitions, midlife concerns, grief, or questions about life purpose.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each client to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to match progress and changing needs rather than assuming a single path from the start.

Online therapy with her is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make scheduling more flexible for people balancing work, caregiving, or other commitments, and they allow continuity of care when attending in-person sessions would be difficult. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured, goal-oriented work while accommodating different communication styles and practical constraints.
