About Christopher
Dr. Christopher Curtis helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and the everyday pressures of life. He also supports those dealing with relationship and family strains, parenting and fatherhood issues, guilt and shame, and concerns tied to men's wellbeing. He presents a calm, accepting approach and aims to make change feel manageable from the first session.
He works collaboratively and without judgment. He focuses on thoughts, feelings, behaviors, responses, and inner dialogue so clients can better understand what keeps problems going. The work is practical and goal-focused, with an emphasis on building tools clients can use outside sessions.
His clinical approach draws heavily on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, alongside cognitive behavioral ideas and client-centered principles. He also incorporates mindfulness practices and has used Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in trauma work. These methods are used to address symptoms and to help people make values-based choices.
With 20 years of experience, he brings a steady, straightforward style. Dr. Curtis holds an LPC, meaning Licensed Professional Counselor, and works in Michigan. He invites people to start where they are and to take gradual steps toward change.
Sessions focus on practical skills - managing anxiety, reducing unhelpful thinking, improving communication, and handling life transitions. The goal is to help people increase balance, calm, and confidence in daily life.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clarify what matters most to you and builds small, practical steps toward those values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change them, which can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, useful across many concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adapting them over time so the plan fits the client's needs.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness or ACT exercises in their everyday settings, which helps practice skills between sessions. Licensed professionals can help arrange an approach and schedule that fits into daily life.
