About Curtis
He focuses on building a steady working relationship first. Curtis uses deep listening and a straightforward, often warm style to help people feel safer naming difficult thoughts and memories. Humor is used carefully to ease tension and keep sessions grounded in everyday reality.
Curtis helps people untangle problems from the past and manage problems in the present. That can include navigating breakups, setting boundaries with difficult family members, talking through intimacy or commitment issues, and addressing experiences of trauma such as childhood abuse or discrimination. He also supports people dealing with mood concerns like depression and bipolar symptoms, and stress related to career and life changes.
Therapy with Curtis tends to mix practical tools and relational work. He draws on attachment perspectives to look at how relationships shaped current patterns, and uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Emotion-focused methods are applied when emotions need to be named and processed.
If you want a direct but compassionate approach, Curtis invites you to reach out and begin with a brief questionnaire and scheduling step to see if his style fits your needs.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Curtis uses this perspective to help people notice how past bonds influence trust, closeness, and responses to stress. It often helps when relationship patterns repeat in romantic or family interactions.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and the quality of the therapist-client relationship. In sessions Curtis aims to reflect what you say and help you find your own solutions, which can be useful for building self-trust and clarity about life choices.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with more useful ones. Curtis uses CBT-style strategies when people want concrete steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change behaviors that get in the way of goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Curtis will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and what feels manageable. That means trying tools, checking in about progress, and adjusting the plan as needed.
