Dr. Christopher Curtis

Dr. Christopher Curtis is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns. He also supports people facing trauma, grief, addictions, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. He brings 20 years of clinical experience to his work in Michigan.

He creates a nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions focus on practical tools and small steps clients can use between meetings. The aim is to boost hope, calm, and balance in daily life.

His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and places particular emphasis on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. He also uses Client-Centered methods, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and mindfulness techniques when they fit a person's needs. These methods are used to address painful memories, persistent worries, and unhelpful patterns.

Dr. Curtis describes therapy as a collaborative process. He works with people to identify goals and to practice strategies that make life easier. The focus is on teaching skills that clients can rely on long after sessions end.

With two decades of practice, he aims to help people make meaningful change from wherever they start. Prospective clients select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and anger when thoughts and avoidance get in the way of living. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and practicing concrete skills to change them, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during upsetting moments.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful based on goals and personal preferences. That means trying strategies, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises, skills practice, and EMDR-related processing in a way that matches their schedule and energy level.
