About Robert

Robert Curriden is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with four years of clinical experience. He works with adults who want to manage anger, depression, trauma, and the stress that comes from major life changes. He also supports people dealing with low self-esteem, addiction-related struggles, grief, and career or parenting strain.

Robert emphasizes that clients are the experts on their own lives. He uses that perspective to help people notice patterns that keep anger and frustration cycling. Sessions focus on practical steps and small, repeatable skills that reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning.

He draws on several established approaches, including attachment-based work, client-centered conversations, cognitive behavioral techniques, and tools from dialectical behavior therapy. That mix is used to help people understand what drives their reactions, test new responses, and rebuild trust in close relationships when needed.

In a typical session Robert talks through recent incidents, identifies what felt triggering, and practices alternative responses. He encourages short behavioral experiments between sessions so people can try new ways of responding in real life. He also supports adjusting goals when life circumstances change.

Robert works in English and practices in New York. His background includes supporting people with ADHD, post-traumatic stress, family of origin issues, and issues common to young adults. He asks new clients to complete a brief questionnaire before scheduling a first meeting to match goals and logistics.

How his approaches translate to online work

Robert frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based methods in session. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anger and depression. It helps with work-related frustration, low mood, and patterns that fuel outbursts. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and connection problems, which can be useful when anger shows up in close relationships or after trauma.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. He collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what works, and adjusting the plan over time rather than sticking rigidly to one method.

Confirm the session formats available before booking since the original biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can use their appointment slot differently. A collaborative plan will also set simple practice tasks to try between sessions so progress carries into everyday life.
