About Curtis
Curtis Spears is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, addictions, and a wide range of life challenges. He brings 17 years of clinical work to each session and works in a straightforward, accepting way.
He has worked in hospitals, a pediatric clinic, and as an employee assistance counselor in a large health system. That work meant seeing people with many different problems and learning how to listen across cultures and ages.
Background and approach
He also taught as an adjunct professor at a Louisiana university for several years. Curtis describes his practice as empathetic and non-judgmental. Sessions focus on helping people name their feelings, identify patterns that cause distress, and try small changes that feel doable.
He combines conversational, client-centered support with practical tools from approaches like Emotionally-Focused Therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, and solution-focused planning. He is licensed as an LMHC and as an LPC and serves clients in Louisiana and other states where he holds licensure. He is open to working with people across the world and offers several online formats to fit different needs and schedules.
Outside of work he enjoys sailing, backpacking, skiing, and cooking, and he notes family life with his wife, six children, and grandchildren as an important part of his perspective on caregiving and relationships. Curtis aims to be flexible about scheduling and asks people to message him if they need appointment times not listed on the calendar.

Online support
How his approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong emotions and how those feelings affect close relationships. In short sessions this can mean learning to identify a core emotion and practice a different way of responding that feels safer and more connected.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that reflect their values. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes because it focuses on small, value-driven steps.
Curtis will work with each person to decide which approach fits best. He approaches that choice collaboratively and adapts methods to a person's goals and comfort level rather than following a single plan.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues during sessions, phone can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth, live chat can support quick check-ins, and text messaging can help keep momentum between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, and travel while still using the same therapeutic tools.
