Curlynn Counseling

I have experience working with individuals and couples struggling with managing interpersonal relationships. I have been able to assist clients with identifying their communication styles, roadblocks to healthy communication and tools needed to assist my clients with education on the importance of boundaries and tools needed to improve relational functioning.

I have experience working with clients struggling with depression. Often times, when struggling with depression, it can be debilitating and trigger feelings of hopelessness and helplessness, suicidal ideation and lack of motivation. I utilize various therapeutic techniques to assist clients with gaining the tools needed to overcome their depression and find happiness.

I work mostly with those struggling with anxiety. I often see individuals struggling with chronic worry, trouble controlling the worry, physiological symptoms and triggers that cause inaccurate thoughts about oneself and others around them. In treatment, I utilize different modalities utilized to assist individuals with gaining insight and replace negative thinking patterns with healthier ones.

When using an eclectic approach, I tailor the intervention to the individuals unique needs. I work with my clients on their strengths and needs to determine the best course of treatment.

I have experience working with couples. I often utilize the Gottmans Method used to assist couples with gaining insight and identifying their “shared meaning”, what brought them together and their future goals. This has been a successful approach for many couples I work with and has provided insight and tools needed to improve their relationship.

CBT is one of the most common techniques utilized to assist my clients with managing their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. CBT can assist an individual with gaining insight into ways that their behavior may be maladaptive and tools needed to assist them with improving overall functioning.
