About Curtis
Curtis Williams is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. He focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, or addiction. He speaks plainly and works to make the first steps less scary for someone seeking help.
Curtis draws on five years of counseling experience across outpatient substance abuse clinics, inpatient hospital settings, and independent practice. He has supported people coping with trauma or emotional abuse, grief, parenting challenges, career transitions, and intimacy-related concerns.
Background and approach
He also helps with practical everyday issues like sleep, eating, and anger management. His style is warm, interactive, and straightforward. Curtis often looks at how family of origin patterns shape current problems, and he balances that with short-term practical strategies.
He adapts sessions to what each person needs in the moment rather than relying on a single method. Clinically, he uses Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing, the Gottman Method, and Solution-Focused Therapy as tools he can draw from.
Those approaches guide how he helps people reframe stories, shift unhelpful thinking, resolve trauma memories, and set concrete goals. Curtis aims to work collaboratively so people leave sessions with clearer steps and skills. He values direct conversation and realistic plans that fit everyday life.
If someone wants practical support and a conversational, goal-oriented approach, he offers that kind of care.

Online session options
How Narrative, CBT, and EMDR Work Online
Online sessions can use Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their life stories and identify the themes that influence daily choices. That approach focuses on separating a problem from the person and finding alternative storylines that better reflect values and strengths.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT typically involves identifying unhelpful thinking, testing those thoughts, and practicing small behavior changes between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to address distressing memories by guiding attention while processing painful experiences. When adapted for online work, EMDR sessions emphasize pacing, preparation, and clear grounding practices that can be done over video or phone.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Curtis will discuss goals, preferences, and past experiences to choose or combine methods that fit each person's needs. He checks in regularly so the plan can shift if something isn’t helping.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for full face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, chat and text are useful for quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
