About Curtis
Curtis "Jim" Overby is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in South Carolina who helps men and others facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He emphasizes practical steps and clear conversation. He works in a direct, respectful way and encourages people to notice their strengths as they move forward.
Jim believes clients are the experts on their own lives. He asks questions that help uncover what matters most and what is getting in the way. Sessions focus on small, usable changes rather than long lectures. Clients can expect straightforward feedback and guidance tailored to their goals.
He uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support change. That means noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying experiments, and committing to actions that match personal values. These approaches are applied to concerns like social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, communication problems, forgiveness, and isolation.
With eight years of professional experience, Jim draws on practical tools and real-world experience. He aims to help people build confidence, handle stress differently, and repair or improve communication in relationships. He meets clients where they are and works at a steady pace that fits each person.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and Jim acknowledges that courage. He invites people to start with a short questionnaire to match and then schedule a session based on availability. His practice works with international clients as well as those in South Carolina.
How ACT and CBT guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice unhelpful thoughts and still move toward what matters to them. It uses values as a compass and simple actions to build a more meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is something the therapist will do together with the client. He will talk through current concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods might fit best. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques to see what helps most.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It can also allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, or a session without video when someone prefers less screen time. This profile does not specify exact session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Overall, the online format aims to make regular work on stress, anxiety, relationships, and self-esteem more manageable alongside everyday responsibilities.
