Dr. Jessica Curd, LCSW

Dr. Jessica Curd is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 19 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, life changes, ADHD, relationship questions, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career issues, bipolar disorder and depression. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and coaching around life transitions.

Jessica uses a straightforward, conversational style in sessions. She listens first and helps clients identify practical steps they can try between meetings. Sessions focus on problem solving, emotion regulation, and building skills to manage day-to-day demands. She draws on methods such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches.

Her practice also addresses a range of related concerns, including abandonment, attachment issues, aging and geriatric matters, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, divorce and separation, domestic violence, family of origin issues, and forgiveness. She helps people sort through these topics in clear, manageable ways rather than with abstract theory.

Jessica’s background in social work informs a focus on how life systems - like work, family, health, and caregiving - shape stress and choices. She supports people who need practical strategies for coping and for making changes that fit their daily routines.

Outside of clinical work she spends time with family and dogs, enjoys running, hiking and camping, and keeps up creative writing and travel when she can.
