About Curtis
Curtis Boehne is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and everyday stress. He draws on nearly three decades of experience to guide people through depression, grief, anger, relationship strain, and addictive behaviors. Curtis aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and clear.
In sessions he creates a straightforward, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about what is hardest. He listens for patterns in thinking and behavior that get in the way of feeling better.
Background and approach
Then he works with each person to set practical, achievable goals and small steps to reach them. Curtis uses a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, and mindfulness practices. That combination helps people reduce unhelpful thoughts, build emotional awareness, and move toward values-driven action.
Motivational interviewing also helps when someone is weighing change or wants clearer direction. He has particular experience with issues that often come together - parenting strain, caregiver stress, family problems, and coping with life transitions such as divorce, serious illness, or loss. Curtis also supports people facing challenges around intimacy, self-esteem, career shifts, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered in formats that fit busy lives. Curtis focuses on helping people find steady, usable ways to cope so they can get back to daily life with more confidence.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Curtis often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety and depression. CBT focuses on changing patterns in thoughts and actions with clear exercises and homework to track progress.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that reflect what matters to them. Mindfulness practices are included to build moment-to-moment awareness and stress reduction tools useful for anxiety and grief.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Curtis works collaboratively to learn what helps each person most, adjusts techniques to fit goals, and checks in about progress so the plan evolves with the client's needs.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for longer sessions and visual connection, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
