About Curtis
Curtis Boehne is an Illinois LCSW with 28 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, anger, parenting strains, and related concerns. He speaks English and works from an approach that focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
Curtis emphasizes straightforward conversation. He encourages clients to talk through what is happening, name the feelings, and try small changes that fit daily life. Sessions are meant to be a working space for practicing new ways of responding to frustration and resentment, not a place for quick fixes.
His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness, client-centered work, and motivational interviewing. That mix is used to help people notice patterns, test alternatives, and build habits that reduce reactivity. He uses tools such as thought tracking, values-based goals, and short behavioral experiments to make progress concrete.
Curtis has supported people through loss, caregiving stress, and major life transitions. He also helps with addictions, intimacy concerns, and work-related pressure. Many of these issues overlap with anger and irritability, so sessions often address how emotion, thought, and behavior interact.
People who prefer clear guidance and practical steps tend to book time with him. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's matching and scheduling process and arrange an initial session to discuss goals and next steps.
How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Curtis uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when uncomfortable feelings appear. ACT focuses on doing meaningful things rather than getting stuck trying to eliminate every difficult emotion.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test different behaviors. CBT is useful for managing anger, anxiety, and mood shifts by practicing specific skills and noticing what changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Curtis collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. He checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
