About Christopher
Dr. Christopher Curtis is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan with 20 years of clinical experience. He helps people address stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family and parenting concerns, depression, addictions, grief, anger, and self-esteem. He also works with issues like blended family challenges, fatherhood concerns, and smoking or vaping cessation.
He favors straightforward work focused on thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and inner dialogue. Sessions typically look at how reactions start and what keeps them going. He uses practical tools and strategies so people can use them outside sessions.
His practice draws heavily on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. He also incorporates client-centered listening, mindfulness approaches, and EMDR where appropriate. The emphasis is on learning skills that reduce distress and improve everyday functioning.
Over two decades of practice shape his focus on clear, usable techniques. He aims to help people try out changes step by step. Conversations are collaborative and aim to identify small, concrete steps that fit into daily life.
People who come wanting to manage anger, reduce reactive responses, or repair relationship patterns will find practical methods to test between sessions. Sessions work toward building tools for coping with life changes and for handling recurring patterns that cause frustration or resentment.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses on small behavior changes and learning to accept difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on identifying patterns of thinking that feed upset or anger and practicing alternative responses. It uses exercises and homework to test new ways of responding in everyday situations.Choosing which approach to use is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, or mindfulness skills depending on what seems most useful for managing anger, stress, or relationship friction.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it simpler to practice skills in real-life settings and to follow up on exercises between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt the session pace and materials to match how someone prefers to work and to the practical limits of their schedule.
