About Christopher
Dr. Christopher Curtis helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and relationship strain. He also supports those facing grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, anger, and self-esteem struggles.
He writes plainly and listens first to understand where a person wants to begin. Dr. Curtis uses practical, talk-based work that focuses on thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
Sessions aim to build everyday skills - coping tools, communication strategies, and steps to reduce unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
He emphasizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside cognitive behavior techniques and mindfulness practices. Over two decades in practice, he centers sessions on collaboration. He creates a nonjudgmental space and encourages people to try small, manageable changes between meetings.
The goal is straightforward: help people gain tools they can use on their own. He also addresses parenting-related concerns, fatherhood issues, blended family challenges, and communication problems. That often means working on boundaries, routines, and clear ways to talk about difficult topics.
Practical problem solving is a common focus in these conversations. Dr. Curtis holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential (LPC) and practices in Michigan.
He offers a calm, steady approach and tries to meet people where they are. If someone wants a direct, skills-focused therapist who emphasizes acceptance and action, he may be a good fit.

How his online approaches help parents and individuals
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. It works well for problems that respond to practical skill-building and structured practice. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress and anger.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. He works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That means trying strategies, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to a single method up front.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets you work face to face and practice communication skills. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is preferred. Live chat or text messaging offer brief check-ins or ongoing support between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting routines and varied schedules.
