About Joanne

Joanne Curgian is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience working across residential treatment, inpatient and crisis intervention, substance abuse programs, probation services, and independent practice.

Background and approach

She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and a range of life transitions, bringing practical clinical tools alongside empathic listening. Her approach blends client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral techniques, creating space for clients to explore values and strengths while learning skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Joanne emphasizes accessibility and believes therapy can benefit anyone considering change; she frames the work as a collaborative journey and aims to help clients identify manageable steps toward their goals.

Based in Texas, she offers services in English and draws on broad experience with issues such as bipolar disorder, depression, anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and complex family dynamics including adoption and blended family concerns.

Approaches and Online Support with Practical Skills

Joanne uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, listening-focused environment where clients' values and priorities shape the work; this approach helps people feel heard and guides personalized goals. She also incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which emphasizes identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and practicing concrete skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and related concerns.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Joanne treats that as a collaborative exploration. She will work with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the approach as progress and feedback emerge.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals without rearranging major commitments, and they allow work to continue consistently during life transitions or when in-person visits are difficult.
