About Beth

Beth Curry is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people navigate common parenting and family stresses. She offers straightforward support for anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addictions, sleep and eating problems, and self-esteem. Beth’s tone is warm and collaborative, and she aims to create a comfortable space for honest conversation.

Beth uses plain talk and practical skills in sessions. She draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas and solution-focused work to help clients change unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

Background and approach

Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are part of her toolbox to increase self-awareness and build internal motivation. Her background includes university counseling and teaching. Beth spent eight years as a University Counselor and taught courses in sport psychology, stress management, and health and wellness.

She has experience in sexual violence prevention and has advocated for survivors of sexual assault. In sessions she helps people set realistic goals and practices skills between meetings. That might include short exercises for managing anxiety, techniques to improve sleep, or small behavior changes to support recovery from substance use.

The focus is on gains that carry into daily life. Beth earned graduate degrees in counseling and sport psychology and holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. She also trained in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and uses nature-based ideas when helpful.

Her practice is based in Virginia and she conducts sessions in English.

Approaches for online therapy and how they help

Two central ways Beth works are cognitive-behavioral strategies and mindfulness practice. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and tackle sleep or eating issues. Mindfulness involves simple attention practices to notice thoughts and feelings without judgment, helping with stress, emotional regulation, and cravings.

She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. That approach asks questions, reflects what a person says, and supports steps toward goals without pressure. Together these methods aim to create small, manageable changes rather than large overnight shifts.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then adapt techniques to fit. Clients try strategies in session and then apply them between meetings so the plan can be adjusted based on what works.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to meet from home or work. Video and phone let for real-time conversation, while messaging and chat support quick check-ins and ongoing encouragement between sessions.
