About Curtis

Curtis Williams is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, and parenting challenges. He offers straightforward support for depression, relationship strain, grief, and issues that affect day-to-day life. Curtis writes plainly and listens closely so parents can talk through what’s most pressing right now.

He trained and practiced in several settings, including outpatient substance abuse care, inpatient hospitals, and independent practice in Texas.

Background and approach

That range gave him experience with trauma, emotional abuse, and addiction-related concerns. He brings five years of clinical experience to each session and holds the Texas LPC 74995 credential. Curtis uses hands-on methods that aim for change you can see.

He draws from cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - to address thinking patterns that fuel anxiety and depression. He also incorporates solution-focused and narrative strategies to build clear goals and new stories about problems. When trauma is involved, he may use EMDR, a technique that helps people process distressing memories in small, paced steps.

For relationship work he applies elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce conflict. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help making changes related to substance use or habits. Sessions are offered in English and are provided through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Fees vary by location and a subscription model is used that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, fill out a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Curtis Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems and often includes practical exercises you can try between sessions.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR - is a paced method for processing painful memories. It breaks down distressing events into manageable steps and can help reduce the intensity of traumatic memories over time. The Gottman Method targets relationship patterns and communication skills to lower conflict and build stronger interactions.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Curtis will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted as work progresses to fit what actually helps the client make changes.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face work, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging give ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to engage in CBT exercises, EMDR pacing, or relationship skill practice without rearranging a whole day.

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.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
