How approach and online care work together

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them. It emphasizes choosing actions that match what matters most, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect; it offers concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors for problems like anxiety, depression, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and respect so clients feel heard and can find their own solutions; this approach supports people facing grief, relationship problems, and self-esteem concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Curtis will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. That process is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm what options are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it possible to keep continuity of care during life transitions while still working on the same goals you would address in person.
