About Curtis

Curtis DeLoach is a licensed clinical social worker with 33 years of experience based in Kentucky. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addictive behaviors, and relationship or intimacy struggles. He also addresses parenting concerns and compassion fatigue.

Curtis brings steady professional experience to conversations about difficult life moments. Curtis keeps sessions straightforward and focused on practical steps. He listens first, then helps clients identify patterns and set small, achievable goals.

Background and approach

He uses a mix of approaches tailored to what each person needs. Over three decades in practice has given Curtis a broad clinical background. He draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

He also uses emotion-focused work to clarify relationship patterns and attachment concerns. For trauma-related issues he incorporates EMDR when appropriate to work through distressing memories. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used to teach emotion regulation and coping tools.

These methods are chosen to match the problem at hand, not as a one-size-fits-all plan. Clients can expect a collaborative style that emphasizes clear steps and real-world skills. Curtis aims to make therapy understandable and usable in daily life.

He helps people rebuild routines, improve communication, and manage transitions without jargon.

Approaches that guide online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s lead to build trust and clarify goals. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort out feelings and decide next steps.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviors. It teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, is used for processing traumatic memories. It aims to reduce the intensity of distress tied to specific past events and can be a useful option when trauma symptoms are prominent.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Curtis will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide what to try first. The plan can change as needs evolve, and the process is collaborative rather than fixed.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to keep sessions consistent during transitions. For many people, being able to connect from home or on the go helps maintain momentum and practice new skills between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
