About Curtis
He listens first and tailors the conversation to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills people can apply between meetings. Curtis draws on approaches like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and trauma-focused methods to guide that process.
Clients come for help with communication problems, codependency, struggles after separation, and issues tied to family of origin. He also addresses stress from demanding jobs, feelings of emptiness, guilt, and trouble managing anger or impulsivity. The aim is to make daily life feel more manageable.
His style is steady and compassionate. Curtis helps people name what’s happening, test small changes, and build routines that reduce overwhelm. He talks through coping tools and emotional skills in simple terms.
When therapy begins, he works with each person to set achievable steps. That plan gets adjusted as needs change. People who want straightforward, experience-based guidance may find his approach approachable and practical.

How his approaches translate to online work
Curtis commonly uses client-centered approaches and cognitive behavioral techniques in his work. Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what each person needs in the moment, helping them feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to test new ways of responding to stress and mood problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about their goals and needs, then suggest ways of working that match those aims. The plan can change over time as progress is made or new issues emerge, and decisions about methods are made together.
Confirm current session options before booking, since the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use tools and worksheets during the session, or practice skills in real time while describing what happens. Licensed professionals generally adapt methods like CBT and client-centered work to work well across different session arrangements, and Curtis will help identify the best setup for each person.
