About Jessica
Dr. Jessica Curd is a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and life changes. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, Autism, relationship strain, parenting stress, low self-esteem, and codependency. Her approach is warm and straightforward so conversations feel clear and practical.
With 19 years of experience, she draws on several established therapies to fit each person’s needs. Sessions focus on understanding what is most pressing, building new skills, and finding ways to cope that work day to day. Jessica keeps language simple and uses examples people can try between sessions.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She invites clients to set goals and tests different strategies together, tracking what helps and what needs adjusting. She aims to make therapy useful quickly while also addressing deeper patterns that cause repeated problems.
Clients come for a range of concerns from depression and bipolar mood challenges to caregiver stress, chronic illness, and career difficulties. Jessica also works with people coping with domestic violence, family of origin issues, dissociation, and abandonment wounds.
Outside of work she enjoys time with family, hiking, running, camping, travel, and creative writing. That practical, active side of her life shows up in sessions as a focus on daily routines, pacing, and small experiments that can change how things feel.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard, clarify goals, and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses simple, practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress when life feels overwhelming.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those goals. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, combining listening, skill-building, and problem-solving in ways that fit the person.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, avoid travel time, and use short check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also allow for face-to-face video work or other arrangements when those options are available, helping people practice new skills in real life and keep momentum between appointments.
