Curtis Harris, LPCC

Evidence-informed approaches for online care

Curtis integrates person-centered therapy, which emphasizes the client's own knowledge about their life and priorities and helps build goals, self-esteem, and coping skills in a collaborative way. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to explore stress, anxiety, relationship dynamics, or living with ADHD.

He also draws from radical acceptance, a practice that helps clients reduce struggle with painful emotions by learning to acknowledge reality without judgment, which can be especially helpful for impulsivity, shame, and relationship conflicts. Transactional analysis and DISC-related ideas are used as tools to clarify communication patterns and interpersonal roles so clients can improve how they relate to others and manage jealousy or intimacy issues.

Deciding on the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Curtis works with each person to identify which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts the plan as progress unfolds. He encourages an exploratory, collaborative stance so clients feel involved in shaping treatment.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and varying levels of real-time interaction. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life is busy or travel makes in-person visits difficult, while allowing licensed professionals to provide consistent therapeutic support.
