Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Dr. Curtis commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in his online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and social fears. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values-based action and mindful acceptance of internal experiences to help with stress, relationship struggles, and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and he treats selection as a collaborative effort. Together the therapist and client review goals, preferences, and responses to early strategies, then adjust methods so the work fits the client's priorities and day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access therapy from Michigan-based licensed professionals while fitting work, family, and other commitments into a treatment plan.
