About Curtis
Curtis "Jim" Overby is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina. He helps people who are stressed, anxious, struggling with relationships, coping with trauma or low self-esteem, and working through depression. He focuses on practical steps people can take right away and respects each person’s own experience.
Jim works in a straightforward, collaborative way. He listens first, then helps clients set small, achievable goals. Sessions aim to build skills for managing anxiety, improving communication, and increasing confidence.
How Curtis works
He approaches trauma and abuse with patience and care, pacing the work to what the individual can handle. His methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Those approaches are used to teach skills for noticing thoughts, trying new behaviors, and clarifying what matters most.
He blends techniques so the work fits each person’s needs rather than following a single formula. Jim believes people hold strengths that can move them forward. He encourages practical actions between sessions and clear steps to measure progress.
The tone in sessions is direct but supportive, with an emphasis on building everyday coping skills. He has eight years of professional experience as an LPC in South Carolina. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

Online support options
How ACT and CBT translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then focus on actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck by teaching simple exercises to get moving toward what matters.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It works well for stress, anxiety, social fears, and many forms of low mood by breaking problems into manageable steps and homework tasks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit those aims. Together they decide which strategies to keep and which to change based on what actually helps.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support and quick check-ins between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep working on skills across different settings.
