About Christopher
Dr. Christopher Curtis helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting questions, grief, trauma, and addiction concerns. He brings two decades of experience as a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan and aims to make therapy practical and easy to understand.
He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions focus on identifying what gets in the way and building small, doable steps toward change.
Background and approach
He shows ways to lower anxiety, manage anger, cope with loss, and address problematic habits like smoking or vaping. His work draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. He also uses client-centered and mindfulness strategies to help people notice what matters to them and respond differently to hard thoughts and emotions.

He emphasizes collaboration and practical tools so people can take small steps toward better balance and improved day-to-day functioning.
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It focuses on values-based goals and simple practices that reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and habits like smoking or vaping. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress and strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will talk together about goals, what has or hasn't helped before, and personal preferences to choose which methods to try. That collaborative process makes it easier to pick exercises and homework that fit daily life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversation; phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is low; live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule consistent work and to use therapy techniques in real time.
