About Jessica
Dr. Jessica Curd is a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and life transitions. She also supports those managing ADHD, bipolar concerns, relationship and parenting strain, career questions, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Her manner is direct and compassionate, aimed at practical change and steady support. She brings 19 years of clinical experience to sessions and draws from several therapy styles to match each person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals, manageable steps, and building skills that fit daily life. EMDR is one of the approaches she uses when addressing trauma and distressing memories. Her approach favors collaboration.
She listens first, then suggests tools such as thought work, emotion regulation strategies, or focused conversations about attachment and relationships. When someone is grieving or coping with chronic illness, she helps them find ways to carry difficult feelings while staying present to what matters. Practical matters like parenting challenges, caregiver stress, or workplace overwhelm are handled with problem-solving and realistic plans.
For people on the autism spectrum or with ADHD, she emphasizes structure, clear communication, and strength-based supports. She also addresses long-standing issues such as abandonment, family of origin conflicts, and forgiveness. Outside of work she enjoys hiking, running, camping, travel, creative writing, and time with family and dogs.
Her style is steady, approachable, and focused on concrete steps toward better coping and greater resilience.

Online support
How different approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where a person can explore feelings and choices. It helps with stress, relationship worries, and building self-understanding.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete strategies to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, low motivation, and many everyday challenges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It is helpful when strong emotions or relationship conflicts make daily life harder.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Together they try strategies, track what works, and adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial cues and build rapport. Phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between sessions.
