Dr. Christopher Curtis, LPC

Dr. Christopher Curtis helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma, addictions, parenting challenges, and questions about identity. He focuses on practical ways to manage strong emotions, cope with life changes, and improve communication. He works with concerns such as social anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, smoking or vaping cessation, and issues that come up for young adults and men.

He approaches therapy as a collaborative effort. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. He pays attention to thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and the inner dialogue that shapes reactions.

Dr. Curtis draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods. He also uses mindfulness practices and EMDR when appropriate. The aim is to offer tools people can use between sessions to feel better day to day.

He has two decades of experience in clinical work and holds an LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. That background shapes a practical focus on skill-building and gradual change.

People who choose him often want clear strategies, steady support, and a straightforward plan. He invites new conversations and works with each person to set realistic steps toward their goals.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Dr. Curtis uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test them against reality. CBT focuses on practical changes in thinking and behavior, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and social worries. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values; it is often useful for stress, life changes, and problems that keep coming back. Client-centered therapy provides a listening, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports their own problem-solving and growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options and collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps shape a therapy plan that feels manageable and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer sessions, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a short check-in option, and text messaging supports ongoing, between-session contact. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while focusing on the same practical skills and exercises used in face-to-face work.
