He also supports people dealing with self-esteem, LGBT concerns, coping with life changes, and problems like smoking or vaping cessation.

Dr. Curtis brings 20 years of experience to his work and approaches therapy in a direct, practical way. He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through thoughts, feelings, behavior patterns, and inner dialogue.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear skills and steps that can be practiced between meetings. The tone is collaborative - the client and therapist decide what to work on together. Dr.

Curtis uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and to build meaningful action. He also incorporates client-centered methods and mindfulness to help people notice what matters to them and stay present. EMDR is part of his toolkit for addressing traumatic memories when appropriate.

Over two decades of practice have shaped a practical focus: teaching tools that help people manage symptoms and make steady changes. He emphasizes small, achievable steps and real-world practice rather than abstract theory. That makes therapy useful for daily life, parenting demands, work stress, and relationship repair.

Dr. Curtis holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential (LPC) and practices in Michigan. Sessions are offered in English and are aimed at adults seeking individual support for the concerns listed above.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Curtis commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and then take steps that align with personal values. ACT focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that matter, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. CBT breaks down patterns of thinking and behavior so you can practice new responses that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

He also brings client-centered methods and mindfulness into online sessions so conversations stay focused on what matters to the client. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - the therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. Adjustments are made over time based on what proves most helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow full face-to-face interaction and guided exercises. Phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth or hands-free time is needed. Live chat or messaging can be used for briefer check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between sessions.
