About Curtis

Curtis Graham is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina who brings three years of clinical experience to his work with adults. He focuses on helping people navigate anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, addiction concerns, trauma, and challenges around self-esteem and life transitions.

Background and approach

Curtis integrates evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy alongside relational and existential approaches to address both immediate symptoms and deeper patterns. He emphasizes building a strong therapeutic relationship through attentive listening, empathy, and an approachable use of humor to create a collaborative space.

Curtis guides clients to explore roots of pain - whether those stem from past abuse, discrimination, family dynamics, or difficult separations - while also addressing practical communication, commitment, and intimacy issues. He is comfortable addressing topics that include gender dysphoria, kink and alternative sexual cultures, co-morbidity, and addiction within relational contexts.

Curtis offers sessions in English and works with adults across cultural backgrounds. When someone is ready to begin, he supports a paced, client-centered process that balances short-term coping strategies with deeper reflective work to help people move toward clearer purpose and healthier connections.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions



Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression; it is often used to teach practical coping skills and to address current challenges. Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect present connections and can support work on intimacy, commitment issues, and family-of-origin dynamics. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic stance where the therapist follows the client's lead to support self-exploration and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Curtis will work with clients to determine which combination of techniques fits their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, adapting strategies over time as needs evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions, check in as challenges arise, and access therapeutic support without geographical constraints, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor interaction styles to each client's needs.
