Curtrice Scott

Curtrice Scott is a licensed professional counselor with 14 years in the mental health field. She holds an LPC in the District of Columbia and an LCPC in Maryland. She focuses on helping people move toward better overall wellbeing and offers a steady, respectful presence during difficult moments.

Scott has supported people facing depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma and abuse, and challenges tied to parenting and career stress. Her practice also includes work with grief, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, bipolar conditions, and related life strains. She has experience working with people who were formerly incarcerated.

Her counseling style is warm and interactive. Sessions aim to be a place for honest talk, practical problem solving, and planning small steps that fit a person’s life. Scott treats people with dignity and listens for what matters most to each person.

She blends cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and psychodynamic approaches to shape a tailored plan. Those methods guide how she helps people understand patterns, try new behaviors, and make sense of feelings from the past.

Scott invites people who are ready to change to take a first step. The work focuses on support, encouragement, and building skills people can use outside the session. She prioritizes collaboration and adjusts the pace to meet personal needs.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

Scott commonly uses cognitive-behavioral techniques and humanistic approaches to guide her work. Cognitive-behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing new ways of responding to stress, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger. Humanistic methods emphasize listening, respect, and helping people connect with their values and strengths to make changes that matter.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It can also let people choose a setting that helps them focus, avoid commuting, and keep consistent contact with a licensed professional while working on anger, stress, relationship concerns, and other issues.
