About Curtrice
Curtrice Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 14 years of experience in Maryland and Washington, DC. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, and anger. She also supports people coping with grief, trauma, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and career stress.
Scott describes her style as interactive and human. Sessions are conversational and practical. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try different ways of responding.
Her approach draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas, humanistic principles, and psychodynamic perspectives. That means she may help a client learn new coping skills, clarify values and goals, and look at earlier experiences that shape current behavior. The focus is on what a person wants to change and how to do that in everyday life.
People who come for help with anger often want clearer ways to disagree, express frustration, or reduce built-up resentment. Scott works with those concerns by helping clients identify triggers, practice different reactions, and build skills for calmer conversations.
She asks clients to set practical goals and tracks progress over time. Sessions aim to produce small, doable changes that make daily life easier. To begin, clients choose an online therapy option, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Her work combines cognitive-behavioral tools, humanistic listening, and psychodynamic attention to past experiences. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes; this can help with anger, anxiety, and sleep. Humanistic elements center on clear, respectful conversation about values and goals to guide practical steps. Psychodynamic ideas involve gently looking at patterns from earlier relationships that still shape reactions today, which can help with recurring resentment or intimacy concerns.Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to figure out which methods fit their needs and preferences. That might mean trying skill practice one week and a deeper exploration of patterns the next. The plan evolves based on progress and feedback.
