Dr. Jessica Curd is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, and challenges with attention and ADHD. She also helps with relationship strain, parenting concerns, career stress, compassion fatigue, and issues that stem from past family patterns.
Her style is direct and collaborative. She creates a space where people can talk plainly about what is hard. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking, along with emotional processing when it helps.

With 19 years of experience, she has worked with a wide range of concerns and life stages. She pays particular attention to grief, caregiving stress, chronic illness, attachment concerns, and the challenges that come with neurodiversity such as autism and ADHD. She also addresses issues like abandonment, codependency, and communication problems.

How Jessica's approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns, and helps people clarify their goals and values. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to sort through decisions and feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact. It uses concrete exercises and practice to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and change unhelpful patterns. CBT often includes homework and clear skills to use between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. It emphasizes practical strategies like emotion regulation and mindful awareness that people can apply day to day.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift over time as priorities and challenges change.
Regarding online therapy logistics, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make regular check-ins easier to fit into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter, focused sessions for skill practice or brief coaching-type work when that suits a person's goals. Many people find that meeting remotely helps maintain consistency and keeps progress moving forward.
