About Jerri
LMFT licensed in California with 40 years of clinical experience, Dr. Jerri Curry focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, trauma, grief, and related issues. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and existential approaches to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and to reflect on meaning and life choices.
Dr. Curry frames change as something that begins inside thought and action. She uses straightforward conversation to identify recurring patterns and to try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as on understanding how beliefs shape behavior.
She works with a wide range of concerns including intimacy-related issues, eating and sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, career questions, mood disorders, panic, and post-traumatic stress. Additional focus areas include body image, abandonment, caregiver stress, communication and control issues, and hospice and end-of-life counseling.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which targets thoughts and behaviors, and on Existential Therapy, which looks at meaning, responsibility, and choice. These methods are used to address anxiety, depression, addictive behavior, grief, and life transitions.
Dr. Curry emphasizes personal responsibility and practical change. She helps people become more aware of patterns that keep them stuck and supports testing new ways of thinking and acting. The aim is clearer decision making and more manageable day-to-day coping.

How CBT and Existential Work Guide Online Sessions
CBT focuses on identifying specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In practice this means tracking patterns, testing new responses, and using short exercises between sessions to change how people react to stress or cravings.Existential Therapy emphasizes questions about meaning, responsibility, and choice. It helps people who are rethinking life direction, coping with loss, or facing big changes by clarifying values and making deliberate decisions.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide whether CBT techniques, existential reflection, or a mix of both fits the client’s needs, goals, and preferences.

Licensed professionals can use these options to maintain continuity of care while working on practical skills and life questions.
