Dr. Jessica Curd

Dr. Jessica Curd is a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana who helps people coping with grief, stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She also supports those facing trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and issues around self-esteem and career changes. Her work includes attention to caregiver strain, compassion fatigue, and concerns linked to chronic illness and aging.

With 19 years of experience, she takes a calm, straightforward approach. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. She listens first, then helps set small, realistic goals and practical steps to try between meetings.

Her methods draw from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally-focused work, and existential approaches. That mix is used to address patterns of thinking, emotional regulation, and relationship concerns. Jessica adapts tools to match each person’s needs and pace.

Jessica has a background in supporting people through grief and end-of-life concerns as part of her broader practice. She also works with those affected by autism, ADHD, family-of-origin problems, communication struggles, and relationship pain like divorce or separation.

Outside of practice she enjoys time with family, outdoor activities, running and hiking, and creative writing. To begin, readers can use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Client-centered therapy centers on the person's experience and values, with the therapist following the client's lead and offering empathy and practical feedback to help clarify next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and improve daily functioning. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as needs change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use visual or audio sessions depending on comfort and bandwidth, helping therapy to match everyday life rather than add extra strain.
