Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches into Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identify personal values and take committed action toward a more meaningful life. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, offering practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping strategies. CBT is commonly applied to depression, anxiety, and situational problems that benefit from skills training.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, allowing clients to set the pace and goals of treatment while the therapist offers support and acceptance. This approach supports self-exploration, relationship concerns, and emotional processing.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process; Curtis works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore options and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Curtis is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limitations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from home or on the go while working with licensed professionals and therapists experienced in remote treatment.
