How Curtis uses therapy approaches online
Curtis commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small steps toward those values. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches specific skills to shift unhelpful habits and reduce anxious reactions.He treats the choice of approach as a collaborative matter. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels most useful. That means early sessions often include brief experiments to see which tools fit the client's life and preferences.
