About Jessica

Dr. Jessica Curd is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Indiana with 19 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, life changes, ADHD, LGBT issues, and relationship or parenting challenges.

She works with people on mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, and with problems like low self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, aging and caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and communication problems.

Jessica uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and existential ideas. Sessions tend to emphasize emotions, patterns in relationships, and practical steps someone can try between meetings.

In sessions she listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and then helps name the feelings that are hard to identify. She also works on skills for managing distress and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. People often leave with clearer ways to respond to conflict and more options for handling stress.

She combines a focus on emotions with straightforward problem solving. Outside of work she spends time with family and dogs, and enjoys being outdoors, running, hiking, camping, and creative writing. To set up an initial visit follow the site's matching and scheduling steps before your first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions that drive relationship and behavior patterns. It helps people notice how emotion shapes their responses and work toward new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients can explore what matters to them. This approach supports building clearer self-understanding and voice in therapy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with specific skills and exercises. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and practical problems like sleep, motivation, and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean focusing on emotions in one phase and working on CBT or DBT skills in another.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking. The profile does not specify formats here, so please check current session options on the platform. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a break, avoiding travel time, or choosing an option that uses less bandwidth. The therapist will discuss which session rhythm and format suit each person during the first meeting.
