About Jessica
Dr. Jessica Curd, LCSW, is licensed in Indiana and has 19 years of clinical experience.

Dr. Curd uses approaches that include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Existential Therapy. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She helps people identify patterns, practice skills, and make concrete changes between meetings.
Her practice also pays attention to specific concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, aging and geriatric matters, autism and Asperger syndrome, cancer, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, divorce and separation, domestic violence, family of origin issues, and forgiveness. Those topics are addressed through practical strategies and focused discussion.
Dr. Curd emphasizes grief and loss work alongside broader mental health concerns. She supports clients coping with bereavement and life transitions using grief-focused techniques and general therapeutic methods. The aim is to help people move forward while acknowledging what they have lost.
Outside of work she spends time with family, dogs, and outdoor activities like running, hiking, and camping. She also enjoys travel and creative writing. To begin, clients follow the site’s matching and scheduling process to arrange a first session.

How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says. It helps people feel understood and clarify their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is made together and can change over time as goals shift.
Confirm current session options before booking. The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, reducing travel time, and easier follow-up between appointments. Some people prefer shorter check-ins that fit a work break or sessions that do not require being on camera. Talk with the therapist during the matching step to confirm what session formats are offered and to plan how therapy will fit into everyday life.
