How Christopher works
The goal is practical change and better day-to-day functioning rather than jargon or long lectures. His approach blends several methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, mindfulness practices, and EMDR. Those methods give a mix of tools - skills for managing thoughts, techniques to address painful memories, and mindfulness to steady attention.
Dr. Curtis aims to teach concrete strategies people can use between sessions. He focuses on small, achievable steps like shifting unhelpful thinking, practicing new ways of communicating, or building healthy routines.
Progress is measured in real-life changes rather than abstract goals. People who are looking to stop smoking or vaping, handle guilt and shame, manage social anxiety, or cope with life transitions often find his mix of practical skills and reflective work useful. He invites a first conversation to map goals and decide practical next steps.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then act toward what matters. It is useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and social fears. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on hearing the person's experience and responding with empathy so they can find their own answers and build self-trust.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can provide brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, or a way to fit therapy into a busy schedule. These options aim to make attending sessions easier and more flexible for different routines and needs.
