About Curtis

Curtis Williams is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who works with people confronting stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship challenges, depression, grief, trauma, and a range of life transitions.

Background and approach

He brings five years of clinical experience drawn from outpatient substance abuse clinics, inpatient hospital settings, and independent practice, and he adapts his work to the concerns a client brings to therapy. His approach blends practical skills with attention to personal history; he uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside EMDR, Gottman-informed tools, motivational interviewing, and narrative ideas as appropriate.

Curtis emphasizes a collaborative, interactive style that balances exploring family-of-origin patterns with straightforward, solution-focused strategies when clients want tangible changes. He aims to tailor conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs and goals.

Clients can expect an empathic, goal-oriented counselor who values both insight and skill-building. Curtis recognizes the effort it takes to seek support and offers guidance designed to help people move toward clearer purpose, improved relationships, better coping, and healthier daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Curtis commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR to address both present-day patterns and reactions rooted in past experiences. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress, while EMDR offers a structured way to process distressing memories and trauma-related symptoms.

He approaches treatment collaboratively, helping clients explore which methods feel most appropriate for their goals. Together they assess needs, preferences, and progress, then adapt the plan so the therapeutic approach fits the person's situation rather than imposing a single method.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, caregiving, and geographic constraints. These formats allow clients to access a licensed professional in ways that can be more convenient and consistent with daily life while still focusing on skill-building, symptom management, relationship work, and processing difficult experiences.
