About Jessica
Dr. Jessica Curd is a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, depression, bipolar concerns, career challenges, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is grounded in empathy and practical problem solving. She frames sessions as a collaborative space. People can expect straightforward conversation about what feels hardest and small steps to try between meetings.
Background and approach
She uses client-centered methods and evidence-based tools to address thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs how she attends to feelings and relationship patterns during work together. Her practice also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice unhelpful thinking and DBT skills for managing strong emotions.
Existential ideas help when people are facing big life questions or loss. These methods are blended to fit each person’s situation rather than delivered as a set script. Dr.
Curd brings 19 years of experience in behavioral health to sessions. That background means she is familiar with trauma responses, grief processes, and long-term coping strategies people use. She aims to make conversations clear, steady, and useful.
Outside of clinical work, she enjoys being outdoors, running, camping, and creative writing. Her personal interests support a down-to-earth style in sessions and a focus on practical goals people can try at home.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on the experience of emotions and how those emotions shape relationships and personal patterns. Online EFT sessions identify key feelings and help people practice new ways of responding to themselves and others, which can aid with grief, attachment concerns, and distressing emotional cycles.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and pace. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps people find their own answers. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, exploring life transitions, and increasing motivation.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online CBT people learn to spot unhelpful thinking, test alternative beliefs, and try behavioral experiments. This method can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then recommend methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or a camera is not available. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when a written format feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
