Curley Simpson, LMFT - Therapist in Georgia

About Curley

Curley Simpson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Georgia. He brings 12 years of clinical experience and a long personal history in committed marriage to his work. He focuses on practical change and clear steps when stress, anxiety, relationship strain, or parenting pressures become hard to manage.

Simpson helps people talk through addiction struggles, family conflict, grief, and anger. He also addresses intimacy concerns, career stress, and life transitions.

Background and approach

His approach treats the person and their relationships, not just a list of symptoms. He uses therapies that center the client's perspective and strengths. That includes Client-Centered Therapy that follows a person’s lead, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to repair connection in relationships.

He may also bring Motivational Interviewing or Narrative Therapy when those fit the situation. Sessions are aimed at clear goals. Expect a respectful pace, direct conversation, and tools you can try between meetings.

Simpson frames change as a collaborative effort and supports practical steps toward better communication and coping. Many people seek him for family and parenting concerns alongside relationship work. He also takes on issues related to first responder and veteran experiences, multicultural stress, prejudice, infidelity, and jealousy.

His practice emphasizes steady support while working toward realistic improvements.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Curley often blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities so they feel understood and in charge of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the thoughts and habits that keep problems going and gives concrete ways to try new patterns that reduce stress and anxiety.

He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship repair is needed. EFT helps partners or family members re-establish trust and safer emotional connections by naming feelings and shifting interaction patterns that cause hurt.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods match their goals and comfort level. Plans can shift over time as needs change, and clients are invited to give feedback about what helps.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to stay consistent during transitions. They also allow practical tools and communication coaching to continue between live conversations, giving flexibility while working toward clearer relationships and better coping.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
