About Curtis

Curtis Boehne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. He focuses on practical support for everyday problems. He aims to make starting therapy feel possible and straightforward for worried people and caregivers alike.

He uses a calm, conversational style and encourages honest talk about feelings and worries. Sessions are meant to be a place to sort thoughts, try small changes, and build coping habits that fit daily life. Curtis emphasizes clear steps and compassion rather than jargon or complex plans.

With 28 years of experience, Curtis has worked across a range of challenges including addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting, and career concerns. He also focuses on aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and cancer-related emotional needs. This background helps him notice the practical pressures people face at different life stages.

His methods draw on acceptance and commitment approaches, cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, client-centered care, and motivational interviewing. In conversation he blends steady listening with goal-focused suggestions so clients can test new ways of coping between sessions.

People who want direct, compassionate help with coping, decision-making, or life transitions may find his approach useful. He invites clients to begin with a simple conversation about what matters most, then works with them to shape the next steps.

How specific approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to challenge unhelpful patterns. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to support insight and growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Curtis will work with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. He aims to be collaborative, offering options and adjusting techniques based on what a person finds helpful in session and between meetings.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care during life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and client-centered techniques to remote settings so clients can practice new skills in everyday contexts.
