Shirley Currier , LPC, LMFT

Shirley Currier holds LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - and LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credentials and brings personal recovery experience to her clinical work. Her interest in counseling began through her own journey with addiction, which led her to work directly with people struggling with substance use and related concerns in a psychiatrist's office. Recognizing that substance use often reflects deeper mental and psychological issues, she returned to graduate school and completed a master's degree in clinical psychology in 2000.

She has provided care in a variety of settings, including physician offices, non-profit agencies, day treatment programs, and Harris County court diversion programs for offenders. Her clinical approach draws from cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, solution-focused, and trauma-focused methods, allowing her to tailor support to each person's needs. She views clients as the experts on their own lives and offers her experience and training to collaborate on practical paths toward recovery and change.

Known for an accepting and open-minded stance, she respects diverse lifestyle choices and brings a flexible, client-centered attitude to therapy. She is accepting new clients and welcomes those who are ready to begin a therapeutic journey to reach out.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit for You?

Many people ask whether online therapy makes a real difference. For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions - online therapy has been found to be comparable to traditional in-person sessions for addressing those issues.

One of the main advantages is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the mode that fits their life best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to maintain regular care alongside work, family, and other commitments.

Licensed professionals provide treatment through these remote formats, and you are free to change therapists if you want a different fit. For many, online therapy offers an effective and practical way to engage in meaningful therapeutic work.
