About Curtis
Curtis Boehne is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, parenting challenges, and anger. He draws on nearly three decades of practice to offer steady, practical support for people facing life changes and emotional strain. Curtis focuses on simple, clear conversations.
Sessions are a place to talk through what feels overwhelming and to build small, useful steps forward. He aims to reduce shame and blame while helping people reconnect with what matters to them.
Background and approach
His approach blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive behavioral tools and client-centered listening. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing also show up when they fit the person’s goals. The result is a flexible mix that targets thoughts, behaviors, and values together.
Curtis has worked across many concerns, including addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy challenges, self-esteem, career transitions, and coping with serious illness or caregiving stress. He also supports people dealing with divorce, blended-family questions, fatherhood issues, and end-of-life matters. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with a focus on what a person wants to change.
Curtis helps people try new ways of coping, test small steps, and notice what works. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

How these approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy blends practical action with values work. It helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, choose what matters to them, and take small steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, which can reduce anxiety and depression through clear, structured exercises and experiments.Curtis treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. He will listen to a person's goals and preferences, try tools together, and adjust methods based on what helps most. The focus is on finding what fits the individual's life rather than following a single method rigidly.
Online sessions can fit different needs and routines. Video calls let people read facial expressions and have deep conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief, flexible ways to stay connected between longer sessions. These options make it easier to use therapy during busy days, caregiving duties, or work breaks while keeping the work practical and goal-oriented.
