Therapeutic approaches for online care

In his online practice, Curtis draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while building practical steps toward a more meaningful life, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT provides concrete tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching skills for reframing thoughts and developing healthier habits.

Curtis works collaboratively with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches fits best. Licensed professionals and therapists adapt these methods to the client’s goals and preferences, and Curtis guides that decision-making process in partnership with the client.

Online therapy with Curtis is available by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and access. These options allow clients to engage in consistent care from different locations and to choose formats that suit their comfort and daily life.
