With a background in psychology and clinical work in both Australia and the United States, Kursley brings a global, culturally-informed perspective to every session. His approach draws on evidence-based, proven therapy methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, and Play Therapy for children. He works with clients of all ages — from children to adults — helping them build real coping skills for life’s challenges.

What sets Kursley apart is how he makes people feel: heard, understood, and never judged. His warm, flexible, and approachable style builds the kind of trust that makes real progress possible — whether you’re searching for “therapist near me in Baytown,” “online counseling in Texas,” or simply looking for someone who truly listens.
