About Curley
Curley Simpson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Georgia with 12 years of professional experience. He has been married for 28 years and works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, addictions, and family conflict.
He focuses on practical, down-to-earth conversations. He listens to a person's story and helps them notice strengths they already have. Sessions often look at how feelings show up in relationships and everyday choices.
Curley uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches. He also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative therapy when relevant. These methods help people name hard emotions, rethink unhelpful patterns, and make concrete changes.
People who come for help might be dealing with grief, trauma or abuse, anger, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career stress, or life transitions. He also works with first responder issues, infidelity, jealousy, veteran and armed forces issues, multicultural concerns, and prejudice and discrimination.
In sessions Curley is straightforward and practical. He helps clients set goals and try small, manageable changes between meetings. That approach can make progress easier to track and apply to daily life.
Using EFT, client-centered work, and CBT in online sessions
Curley uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name feelings that shape relationship patterns. EFT focuses on how emotions guide interactions and what shifts might open new responses. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person's perspective and priorities, giving space for concerns to be heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers practical steps to change them.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Curley will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they decide what to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

They can also allow someone to join from a quieter place or to avoid needing to be on camera during parts of a session. Licensed professionals can use these formats to keep work practical and focused on real-life changes.
