About Jerri
Dr. Jerri Curry is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with forty years of experience. She focuses on practical help for common struggles parents often face, including stress, anxiety, sleep and eating concerns, and parenting challenges.
Her approach aims to make therapy understandable and usable in daily life. Dr. Curry keeps sessions focused on thoughts, behaviors, and choices.
She encourages clients to notice how thinking patterns shape feelings and actions, and to try different ways of responding.
Background and approach
Conversations are collaborative and geared toward simple, concrete steps that can fit into a busy schedule. Over decades of work she has supported people dealing with grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, mood disorders, and job or life transitions. She also offers help for caregiver stress, communication problems, and feelings of isolation or shame.
The emphasis is on sorting priorities and building coping skills that make routines easier. Her style is respectful and direct. She listens for practical barriers and tailors sessions to each person’s needs.
That can mean brief cognitive strategies one week and a more reflective conversation the next. Parents reading this will find a steady, experienced clinician who combines clear thinking with encouragement. The goal is to help people make small changes that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Curry uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential Therapy in ways that suit online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It can help with anxiety, panic, mood problems, sleep, and managing stress through simple exercises and planning.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, values, and choices. It helps when people face life transitions, grief, questions about purpose, or feelings of isolation. Those conversations often involve exploring beliefs and deciding what matters going forward.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adjust methods as needed. Sessions can mix practical CBT tools with deeper existential reflection depending on what is most useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you have face-to-face conversations and work through exercises together. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging support brief updates, quick tools, or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
