About Jerri
Dr. Jerri Curry is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California. She brings four decades of experience to sessions and focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, mood concerns, relationship problems, and life transitions.
She believes change begins with how people think about themselves and their choices. Sessions are shaped to the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Conversations are respectful and direct, aimed at helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.
How Jerri works
Dr. Curry uses methods that help people recognize and shift thoughts that keep them stuck. She also explores big life questions and meaning when clients want that kind of work.
That combination can support mood disorders, grief, trauma reactions, panic, and struggles with self-esteem or motivation. Her practice addresses many everyday concerns such as sleep and eating issues, parenting stress, career changes, caregiver strain, and compassion fatigue. She also works with people coping with abandonment, body image worries, guilt and shame, and end-of-life or hospice-related stress.
Sessions are practical and collaborative. Dr. Curry helps people set clear goals, practice small changes between meetings, and track progress.
She encourages courage and responsibility in making choices, and she aims to support each person’s effort toward a more fulfilling life.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Dr. Curry uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, panic, depression, mood disorders, and problems with sleep or eating.She also draws on Existential Therapy, which helps people talk through questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility. This approach can be helpful for life transitions, grief, midlife concerns, and struggles with purpose.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, priorities, and personal style and then suggest ways to proceed. Clients and therapist decide together which methods to try and adjust them as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing, flexible contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue care when travel or life changes occur.
