Beth Curry, LPC

Beth Curry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns. She also supports those facing issues with self-esteem, substance use, grief, eating or sleeping problems, parenting strain, career transitions, bipolar mood challenges, and questions around sexuality and LGBT identity. Beth works with adults and adolescents and draws on a decade of clinical experience.

She spent eight years as a university counselor and taught college courses in sport psychology, stress management, and health and wellness. That mix of counseling and teaching shapes how she explains skills and strategies in clear, practical terms. Beth has experience in sexual violence prevention and advocacy for survivors of sexual assault.

In sessions she aims to build a warm and empathic space where people can speak honestly and set realistic goals. She describes her style as collaborative and growth-oriented, helping clients notice strengths and practice new coping skills. Work in therapy focuses on self-exploration plus skill-building to manage thoughts, emotions, and behavior.

Beth uses a strength-based, cognitive-behavioral, and solution-focused approach. She incorporates motivational interviewing to find internal motivation, mindfulness practices to support present-moment awareness, and ecotherapy ideas that use nature to calm and reframe feelings. Her role is to help clients move toward a life that reflects their values.

She holds multiple graduate degrees including a Master of Education in Counseling and a Master of Education in Sport Psychology, and she is trained in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. Beth practices in Virginia and conducts sessions in English.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy

Beth uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This approach breaks problems into manageable pieces and teaches practical skills for reducing anxiety, improving mood, and changing patterns that cause distress.

She also uses mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness and calm the nervous system. Mindfulness is taught through simple exercises that can reduce rumination and increase emotional regulation. In addition, she integrates motivational interviewing to help people find internal reasons to make lasting changes and strengthen commitment to goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they track progress and adjust methods when something is not working well.

Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people attend from locations that better fit their schedules. Many licensed professionals use online work to help maintain continuity of care and to make it simpler to practice skills between sessions.
