About Beth
Beth Curry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with ten years of clinical experience. She has worked in university and community settings and supports adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, substance concerns, relationship and family struggles, parenting stress, grief, trauma, and LGBTQ-related questions.
She previously worked as a university counselor for eight years and taught courses in sport psychology, stress management, and health and wellness. That background means she often draws on practical skills for managing stress and improving daily functioning. She has experience in sexual violence prevention and advocacy for survivors of assault.
Beth's sessions focus on self-reflection and building skills to manage thoughts, emotions, and behavior. She uses a strength-based outlook, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and a solution-focused stance. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness practices are woven into her work when helpful.
She also mentions ecotherapy approaches, encouraging time in nature as one way people can reduce anxiety and gain perspective. In practice this may look like setting small, doable activities and noticing their effects on mood and behavior.
Her aim is practical: help people clarify goals, develop coping strategies, and improve day-to-day functioning. People interested in working together are invited to complete the matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to discuss goals and next steps.
How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Many of her clinical tools come from cognitive-behavioral approaches, which look at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT techniques help people develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and sleep or eating patterns through small, structured practice exercises.She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find personal reasons to make change. This approach focuses on exploring values and building internal motivation rather than giving advice. Mindfulness practices are included as brief exercises to increase present-moment awareness and reduce stress through attention training and simple breathing or noticing techniques.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life demands. That decision is reviewed over the first few sessions and adjusted as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit more easily into daily routines, reduce travel time, and can accommodate shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can also use brief audio or written check-ins to maintain momentum between longer sessions.
