About Christopher
Dr. Christopher Curtis is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan with 20 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, depression, addictions, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and social anxiety and phobia.
He uses straightforward conversation to look at thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Sessions focus on practical tools and strategies a person can use between meetings. He emphasizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside cognitive behavior techniques.
His style is collaborative. He asks questions, listens to what matters most, and helps people pick concrete steps they can try. He also draws on client-centered ideas and mindfulness practices to slow down unhelpful patterns and notice what gets in the way of goals.
Over two decades of work in counseling shaped a preference for skills people can use right away. He learned from several established figures in the field and integrates those influences into modern practice. The goal is to increase coping and reduce the impact of troubling thoughts and feelings on daily life.
People who are dealing with family conflict, blended family issues, fatherhood challenges, or communication problems can expect a focus on what to change in day-to-day interactions. He also offers approaches for smoking or vaping cessation and for concerns around guilt, shame, and men’s issues.
Sessions are conducted in English and geared toward adults living in Michigan. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking through the site's scheduling steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that reflect what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, behaviors, and mood, and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and awareness so everyday reactions are easier to spot and manage.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods collaboratively. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make scheduling easier and allow sessions to fit around work, caregiving, or school commitments. It can also let someone choose quieter surroundings, use audio-only check-ins if preferred, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can still teach behavioral experiments, mindfulness exercises, and ACT or CBT strategies effectively through remote sessions when the format fits the client’s needs.
