Dr. Christopher Curtis, LPC

Dr. Christopher Curtis believes that people have the capacity to increase hope, restore balance, and strengthen overall wellbeing. He creates a collaborative, nonjudgmental space that supports personal exploration and practical growth, helping clients examine thoughts, feelings, behaviors, responses, and inner dialogue to improve their present circumstances.

Drawing on a range of Cognitive Behavior Therapy techniques with a strong emphasis on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), he focuses on equipping individuals with tools and strategies they can use outside of sessions. He has received training directly from Albert Ellis, the founder of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, and has training in Reality Therapy and Choice Theory from William Glasser.

With more than 20 years of experience, Dr. Curtis aims to empower clients so they can make meaningful changes regardless of their starting point. He is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - and works collaboratively with each person to identify realistic steps toward their goals. He invites those considering therapy to start a conversation and begin the process of change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Christopher Curtis uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values, accept difficult internal experiences, and take committed action that aligns with what matters most to them. ACT is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions where clients want to build a more values-guided life.

He also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT can be effective for anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, and challenges with coping skills by giving clients practical strategies to test and shift how they think and act.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Curtis works collaboratively with each person and with licensed professionals as needed to determine which methods best fit a client’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility - Dr. Curtis provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so clients can choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort. These options make it easier to maintain regular care, manage appointments around busy lives, and access support from home or other convenient locations.
