About Curtis
Curtis Spears brings 17 years of clinical practice to his work supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship difficulties, addictions, trauma, grief, self-esteem and a broad range of life challenges.
Background and approach
He has experience across hospital psychiatric units, a pediatric clinic, employee assistance programs in a large hospital and city system, and several years teaching as an adjunct professor at Louisiana State University Shreveport. Those varied roles helped shape an inclusive, nonjudgmental approach to counseling that pays attention to individual differences and real-world demands.
In his solo practice he emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and practical support, meeting clients when they are coping with career transitions, parenting stresses, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood challenges, or issues such as abandonment, communication struggles, or end-of-life concerns.
He is generally available six days a week and accepts international clients, and holds LMHC and LPC credentials registered in multiple states. Outside of work he values family life and outdoor pursuits, an outlook he brings to building a calm, grounded counseling relationship with those he sees.
Approach-Focused Care Delivered Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and commit to meaningful action; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching practical skills for coping, which is often applied to anxiety, depression, sleep concerns, and addiction-related challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and a collaborative therapeutic relationship, creating space for clients to explore feelings and make their own choices about change.Finding the right fit is part of the therapeutic process, and Curtis works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He draws from different methods as appropriate and tailors sessions to what feels most helpful for the individual.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and for people living in other regions. These formats make it easier to access consistent support, adjust appointment times, and continue work between sessions with tools and strategies discussed during counseling.
