About Curtrice
Curtrice Scott is a licensed therapist with 14 years of experience in Maryland and Washington, DC. She holds LPC, MD and LCPC credentials and has spent over a decade supporting people who face a range of life challenges. Her work focuses on practical steps that help reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her style is warm and interactive. She treats people with dignity and respect and aims to create a calm space for honest talk.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to each person’s situation rather than following a strict formula. Clinically, she draws from cognitive-behavioral ideas, humanistic principles, and psychodynamic perspectives. That blend lets her address current problems, explore patterns from the past, and build skills for coping now.
She explains things plainly and works with clients to set realistic goals. Curtrice has supported people dealing with depression, anxiety, substance use concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, career stress, bipolar symptoms, and stress more generally.
She also notes experience with neglect and physical abuse cases and with individuals who were formerly incarcerated. If someone is ready to make a change she offers support, encouragement, and practical guidance. The first sessions usually focus on identifying priorities and creating a simple plan to move forward.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Curtrice uses evidence-based approaches that translate well to remote work. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and experimenting with small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. These are practical exercises that can be taught and practiced between sessions over video or messaging.Humanistic methods emphasize building a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where clients can reflect on their values and choices. That approach supports motivation and clarity and works well in one-to-one online conversations. Psychodynamic ideas help identify patterns that repeat across relationships by gently exploring past experiences and current reactions; this can be discussed through video sessions or in reflective written exchanges.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to concerns, discuss which methods might fit best, and adjust the plan together with the client based on needs, goals, and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions provide an audio option, and live chat or text messaging allow brief check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
