Cheryl Curtiss

Cheryl Curtiss is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 30 years of practice in Connecticut. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. She also supports those dealing with relationship challenges, family conflict, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and separation after divorce.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Cheryl creates a calm space where people can speak honestly about what’s happening in their lives. She listens for practical patterns and works with each person to find clearer next steps.

In sessions she helps people name what feels most urgent and figure out small, realistic changes. Conversations may cover communication skills, setting boundaries, coping with loss, and rebuilding routines after major life changes. She also addresses issues such as infidelity, blended family adjustments, abandonment wounds, and postpartum mood concerns.

Cheryl draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs. She views therapy as a collaborative process and focuses on what will help a person move forward. Her work is grounded in three decades of clinical experience in Connecticut.

Evidence-based methods and online therapy

Cheryl uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. One approach focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviors that increase stress and anxiety, then testing small changes to see what helps. Another approach centers on improving communication and setting boundaries, which can be useful for relationship strains, infidelity, and blended family concerns.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a team effort. Cheryl works with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals, needs, and daily life. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helping and what feels manageable for the client.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. The main practical benefits are convenience and flexibility - therapy can fit around work, childcare, and other obligations. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular check-ins, try brief coaching between in-person visits, or maintain continuity during life transitions. Ask about specific session formats when you sign up so you know how appointments will be scheduled and delivered.
