About Christopher
Dr. Christopher Curtis is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Michigan with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and self-esteem. He also focuses on blended family issues and communication problems common when households merge.
He uses straightforward talk and practical tools. Sessions look at thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and the ways people respond to everyday pressures. That often means learning skills from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based methods to manage symptoms and reduce conflict.
Christopher emphasizes helping people build skills they can use outside sessions. He encourages small experiments, new habits, and clearer communication. For someone navigating stepfamily roles, co-parenting with an ex, or shifting routines, he offers step-by-step ways to try different responses and notice what changes.
Over two decades of work shaped a steady, skills-first style. He draws on techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered approaches, and he also uses mindfulness and EMDR tools when appropriate. Sessions are focused on practical outcomes rather than theory-heavy discussion.
People who come to him for fatherhood issues, guilt and shame, or social anxiety will find direct strategies to practice between appointments. He supports smoking and vaping cessation with behavioral techniques and helps young adults who are adjusting to new responsibilities. Christopher prefers clear goals and measurable progress in therapy.
How his approaches work for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It often focuses on small behavior changes and learning to live with uncomfortable feelings while moving toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaborative conversation to help clients find their own solutions.Throughout online work he treats finding the right approach as a collaboration. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That makes the process flexible and responsive to each person’s needs and preferences.
The practical upside of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to schedule short check-ins, avoid travel time, or choose meetings that fit during a lunch break or between errands. Therapists and licensed professionals will help tailor session length and frequency to match everyday routines and progress toward concrete goals.
