01About Curtis
Curtis Spears helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, addictions, trauma, grief, and issues around intimacy and sleep. He also supports clients facing parenting stress, anger, career shifts, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and the strain of life changes. Curtis brings a straightforward, calm presence to sessions.
Curtis has 17 years of experience that include hospital work, a pediatric clinic, and time as an adjunct professor at Louisiana State University, Shreveport.
Background and approach
He spent three years as a patient counselor in a psychiatric unit and three years working in a pediatric practice. Those roles exposed him to many kinds of people and situations and shaped his practical, down-to-earth approach. In session he listens without judgment and focuses on what matters to each person.
He uses approaches that help people learn new ways to cope, make different choices, and repair important relationships. Sessions aim to be plainspoken and goal-focused, not full of jargon. Curtis maintains a solo practice and has worked as an employee assistance counselor in large hospital and city systems.
That background means he has experience helping people with urgent workplace and life stresses as well as long-term concerns. He is licensed in Louisiana, Florida, and Oregon and serves clients in those states and overseas. Outside of work he enjoys family life with his wife and children, and hobbies like sailing, backpacking, skiing, and cooking.
He commonly schedules appointments six days a week and can sometimes offer extra times by message.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match what matters most. It can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by building flexibility and values-driven choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotions and improving how people connect and communicate, useful for relationship and intimacy concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Curtis will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan if something isn’t working well, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when in-person visits aren’t possible. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to share thoughts between sessions or to work through shorter concerns without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and changing schedules.
